Tire suppliers

So i have a few questions about tires:

1) What is a good type of sport tire?
2) Where is a good place to get said tires online?
3) Is there any reason that i shouldn't put tubes in tubeless tires?

Now i am familiar to sport bikes and know are good tires and where to get them, but i don't know where to get any tires small enough for my CB.

I'm tired so this is gonna be quick:

1) With some research and reviews, you'll find out soon (Avons=good)
2) www.DennisKirk.com (great search-by-rim dia feature)
3) if you have a spoked rim, you don't have a choice. I think somebody said before about tubless tires don't sit well on a spoked whell but I could be wrong. And I believe the speed rating of tubeless tires goes down 1 rating with tubes inside

I wound up buying my last tires from JC Whitney but be warned unless you plan on mounting the tires yourself be prepared to search high and low to find someone to mount them without charging you an arm or a leg. Around here at least I couldn't find anyone who would mount tires that weren't bought from them. We wound up all chipping in and buying the tire changer with motorcycle tire adapter from Harbor Freight after fighting for hours to get my rear tire mounted with tire irons only to realize I buggered the tube in the process.

As a matter of fact i can change them myself, and even if i can't my local shop will.

You'll find that the Avon Road Rider tires are quite popular with Honda CB's and they come in sizes that'll our old rims. They have a modern look to them which I like. I purchased mine from Tiresexpress.com which had free shipping and decent price.
