I need tires for sure. I'm looking at a 2 inch leveling kit and 33x12.50 nittos

Do you live in a temperate climate that allows you to keep fancy wheels and tires all year?
Edited for clarity...

I live near Pittsburgh PA, but I spend most of my time on 2lane blacktop or gravel backroads. I frequently chase pipelines and oil and gas sites from pre-construction to final completion.
I also work for coal mines and large water treatment plants. So I travel through 5 other states very frequently.
As far as fancy wheels...no. stock rims most likely as some places salt the roads. Fancy tires....nitto ridge grapplers most likely

This reminds me of someone asking me "what are summer rims and tires?"
I live in Michigan, so any time I think about a truck with a 2” lift and 35”x12.5” on it, I imagine how badly it would do in the snow!! Also our roads are absolute shit and grooves like a mother******, so I can’t imagine how badly it would “track” down the road.

That sounds like a great job. I work in custom manufacturing so the only outside I see is through the two windows on a bay door.

I started as an apprentice electrician many years ago and worked my way up to project manager. I still do a lot of hands on work and I've been underground in Salt mines and coal mines as well as on top of almost 400ft silos and everywhere in between.
It is a great job for sure. Lots of great people of all ages from 18 to 70s.

Well i grew up learning to dirt track with friends and family so drifting and sliding out of control and back into control is almost instinct

Its not as popular as it once was. They have eliminated a lot of tracks and classes over the years.

I agree, however, I grew up on all dirt roads. About 2 miles to the nearest blacktop road, so playing “dirt track racer” was my favorite thing to do.

It kills me that new cars don’t have a handle e-brake.

You either have an asinine definition of being right on someone, or you’re just really way more clueless than we all believe you are. You’re right though, I haven’t seen an FZ09 race. That’s why I count on other FZ enthusiasts who actually know what the bike does run to prove that you are the one who doesn’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about and help drive home my point that a decent turbo busa would have you gapped by probably 30’ by the time you hit the 60’, the better part of a football field by the time you got to the 330’, and damn near half a track by the time you got to half-track. https://www.fz09.org/threads/1-4-mile-times.4928/
Obviously you can’t even fathom what a 7 second pass looks like when you’re the slowpoke in the other lane. I could inundate you with YouTube videos, or even baby spoon-feed the data to you, but you’re a quantum physicist so you shouldn’t have a problem using basic integrals to verify the embarrassing smack down that you’d receive if you tried “staying on top of” a 7-second or 8-second bike.https://www.fz09.org/threads/1-4-mile-times.4928/
Anyway I’m sure it’s a blast to ride regardless. Enjoy it and FFS be careful. We’ve had two motorcycle crashes near my house just this week and at least one of them was fatal.
