My tires are OEM and the bike was built 10/2002. I have read a few places that tires should be replaced after six or seven years regardless of tread depth.
I have been looking at tire options with this in mind. I have a 2003 BA with close to 7K miles. The tread depth is fine.
I understand this is a Tubed Tire (TT). I have looked through links in the Tech Vault and looked at tires recommended. Not all of them say TT. Do I have to choose from those with a TT mark or can I put a tube in a TubeLess (TL) tire?
It seems like I wold be stuck with OEM Bridgestones if I have to buy tires with the TT mark.
Also,
Is there a way I can get numbers off the tire to see how old they are. I'm just assuming they are eight year old OEM's not OEM replacements.
