    Choices are limited by the 16" front. Pirelli Sport Demon's would be awesome if you have the bucks and don't mind the shortish life. Check out American Motor Tire. They have great prices and free shipping.

      Yes, the sport demon is a great tire for this bike except as mentioned about the short life. The Bridgestone battlax bt45 is a great choice too with a longer life. I've used both on my 550e and like them.
