Hi Folks,

I know that we just went through this not too long ago....sorry about the
redundant questions.

Ok.....I am looking for new tires for my bike. I put Metzeler (sp?) ME
77's
 on my 70 Ambo and I like them alot. What I did...which was posted
previoulsy
 was to put the tire on the front and reverse the direction of rotation.
Seems to have worked so far after 400 miles.

Well...I need a new set for my 69 Ambo now and the shop that gives me the
best prices say that they can't get Metzelers that I want. I wanted to
see
 if there was any recommendations as to which brand to get. Some people
mentioned the Dunlop K177's. When I asked about that tire I was told that
it
 is only a front tire. Is it ok to put a front tire on the back? If I did
do
 that which way would I have the direction of rotation going? What is the
comparable tire that is designed for the back? In some ways I would like
to
 keep the same tires on the front and back and I would like to hear what
other brands you Loopers are running on.

Any thoughts would be appreciated although I think that I will have to
take
 a trip to the shop and look through the book to decide which I will want.

Thanks to all in advance......Regards...Ian
