New Rubbers

Since the mechanic had my bike in the shop and the original tires were cracked and dry rotted, I decided to heed the advice of the Airhead Archive list and try out the Bridegstone Spitfire S11 tires.

I also listened to the whole thread on whether to use tubes or not.  I decided to go with new tubes, rim strips, and new tires.  I went online to American Tire and ordered the following for the bike.

1 x BRIDGESTONE S11 100/90H-19 BW FRONT (B1150) = $51.01 
1 x BRIDGESTONE S11 110/90H-18 BW REAR (B2140) = $53.36 
Sub-Total: $104.37 GROUND SHIPPING 
(Code 2000  Texas, United States  ): $16.79 
Total: $121.16

These tires will hopefully last 10K miles.
