Which make / type of tire would be best to replace the stock tires for every day (non track) riding?
I'm primarily looking for wider tires (particularly the rear, so a 150 would be biggest I could go, right?) with more grip than the stock ones, but they should have the same level of sipes for the occasional wet ride and last as long (i.e. not burn up as quickly as track tires).
Also, since these will replace my stock ones completely, not just serve as an alternate set, should I plan on being able to swap them myself, or take it to a shop? In which case would anyone have a rough idea of the cost for a tire swap?
I know that's a lot of questions, but I really appreciate all your help!
