But you will get a better ride and handling with the latter. I've got 9,500 mi. on the set of Conti. Milestones and the rear tire will have to be replaced this spring. Front tire still looks great. You'll get 2 rears to that one front. And I'll get 1 rear to 1 front on mine, the fronts are really a rear on backwards, They way it looks now, I'll get 30K out of both and change both long before they wear out. I took that Pic of that rear with 7500 miles on it. Still has the little titties on it. You can only imagine the ride better part.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #254204 Rayjay (User) Friends make life enjoyable. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1347 Re:What tires to buy ??? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Make sure you put on Metzler 880's with a 160 on the rear. And make sure you do it yourself by hand in the workshop!   Logged     Ray   The administrator has disabled public write access. #254217 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:What tires to buy ??? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Metzler 880s... you wont be sorry.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #254250 chromepony (User) There's no such thing as too much chrome Platinum Boarder Posts: 1341 Re:What tires to buy ??? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Dunlop E-3's.   Logged     ...I love the smell of smoked pork on a warm summer night!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #254252 fishhead (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 316 Re:What tires to buy ??? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I went with the Avon Venom's and love the way she handles.

Got the heeebeeeegeeeeebeeeee's? Go with the Metz! Darkside next to a shoulda changed earlier Bike Rear tire. I'm FAT! And I'm stuffed!

I have gotten 12,500 on a rear and the front has 13,000 and has a lot to go. Stock Bridgestone only lasted 9,800 miles.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #254306 brashears (User) Hillbilly to the bone...
