Default tires.....

hello all....
as some of U might remember I picked up a kaw-sucky ex 500 for my girl and it needs tires very baddly..... my question is...
have any of U guys ran or are running kenda chanenger tires? I have herd that they only perform poorly ir your a very agressive rider, but they stressed on hard/ knee dragging cornering.
Im just looking for some ideas.... she is a beginer, so by no means a agressive rider.... would you put these on your girls bike?
this is the bike BTW.... (I have silver wheels for it waiting for tires.... )\

You should be able to get Dunlop GT501s, Metzeler ME330/550's, or Bridgestone BT045's for that bike. I've heard those recommended often. I've personally used the Dunlop and Metzelers on my old Katana and liked both.

I got the bridgestone's on mine. If she's not too agressive, go for the middle to lesser expensive tires.
