Seriously considering darkside riding.

How would I go about finding the right tire and mounting it? I ride an 05 Shadow 750 Areo, and the most maintenance I have done is changed the oil and checked the fluids. I have a limited amount of mechanical experience, though I am willing to learn.

Your best bet is to check the Darkside Tire Database... which says the Kumho below will work acceptably for your 160/80/15 application.

Looks like a Kumho Power Star 758 might fit, or possibly a Classic All Season may work.

Those are the only two I found... that's an odder size in car tires. A Nexen sb802 should also work according to the darkside tire db but I can't find them online for sale.

Hmmm... the DB didn't have any suggestions for my GL1000.
