Seems Aero has spokes. You'll want to seal the rims, but you can use tubes also.

Start with the Kumho 165/80. That tire is about identical to an mc tire in every respect, except they have better traction and last 20k miles....

If you want to go wide, you can go up to a 205. let us know what you are thinking in that regard and we can give you other recommendations.

post a pic of your bike too. Aero's are nice looking bikes.

I'm thinking of doing the same with my 99 Aero - are there any recommended CT's that are white wall?

Car tires are only white walled on one side! Sorry, motorcycle only come with both sides white walled.
