    Ordered a set of tires for her, bought both off amazon, different sellers.
    Shinko 777 Series Tire - Front - 90/90-21
    Kenda Cruiser K671 Motorcycle Street Tire - 140/70H-18

    Read the reviews on them, they seem good especially for wet weather, which i always seem to be caught in around here... being Texas and all. Got the rear last week, just waiting on the front. Then i will put the bike on a jack, remove the wheels, and get the tires put on. I guess I need to look for a place to do that. Not sure, but maybe any local motorcycle dealer may do it Like a Honda dealer. But I will call just to make sure.

    Original tires worn out? Mine show almost no wear but I only have 3800 miles on them.

    You should consider changing the tires by yourself. It can be a wrestle unless you do it right. If you have no clue how to do it, then consider watching some youtube videos, and prepare to wrestle.

    Yep, they are tubeless so that makes it easier.

    slight wear on the rear, not much on the front. 16,000 miles on them.But they have some cracking and oldness looking to them. Figured it would not hurt to change them out.

    I will take the recommendation to check out you tube videos, and possibly do it myself. couldn't hurt. Just concerned with the balancing of them.

    I don't see the need to balance the tires due to the low speeds of the DF. I'd try them without balancing them. I don't remember seeing any balance weights on the wheels, I'm in VA for a week so can't take a look at my DF.

    That is a fair point. I do not see any on the bike at all. Funny thing is that sometimes when I ride, I give the front wheel a gander from above the handle bars, and it looks like it wobbles? I think that is attributed to the spokes. So maybe I may need to check the spokes out and make sure they are all good and snug (not over) and maybe that will stop the wobble. The wobble does not make the bike shake at all, so I never really had an issue with it, it just looks weird.

    If you mess with the spokes... you might break the air seal and have to put a tube in to hold air.

    Yep, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
    Not sure how the spokes are sealed and don't wanna find out.
    Put the new tires on it and then see if you still have wobble. Could be the tire.
