Been lurking and Learning from all the posts for awhile. My first real season with my 2018 ES. Pulling the tires off for some new rubber tomorrow. Went with Michelin's, cant wait till it gets warmer.
Welcome, from Texas. I think you'll find that the OE Battle Wings were a good value. Good price and good performance; street wise. For whatever reason, my dealer can't get the OE BWs as a replacement. Even the aftermarket only has a few sizes and load ratings available. Yet Yamaha keeps puting them on all new Teneres.
