You would have to state your machine, and type of usage, to get a usable answer. Traditionally, tire and oil questions receive a lot of ridicule. There are many opinions on these two subjects.

Oil: On this topic, there are a few options that are obvious. Most of us have a friend who changes oil frequently. There's your oil, right there. Problem solved. If it's a friend with a Porsche 911, after servicing your bike, there will be enough left over to change the oil in at least one Euro/Japo fufumobile.
Tires: Whatever is cheapest. Also, check garage sales and motorcycle shop dumpsters. One thing that goes hand in hand with this philosophy is "Wear the safety gear".

You can't be serious. Airheads are quite sensitive to tire selection IMO.

I'm sure that Chuey realizes not all motorcycle shops are made equal, therefore one would want to be a little picky about where one went dumpster-diving . . .
