Now if you are going to tell me the Metzlers would of gripped in the
antifreeze..........

Hell, I bought a Metzeler for the back of the Centauro, for about $135, and it was the slipperiest tire I'd ever ridden on. Apparently, I was ripped off and sold an old one that had gotten hard!

I agree with Tim all the way. The Cheng Shin # I think is C180 and the
4.00X18 should be closer to $36. I've put over 150k on them in the last
3 1/2 years on Guzzis and they work well in dirt and ok in snow.
The only traction issue I had was on the T-3 four weeks ago when I slid
out making a left turn in some antifreeze that was on the road. Broke my
collarbone good!
| Hey Jim, At the risk of getting flamed.....I run the Cheng Shin replica of the Dunlop K70. It was popular in the 70's when I first started riding Guzzi's and comes in the 4.00X18 size. JC Whitney sells them for around $45 apiece. They are 6-ply and very tough. I ride my Ambo everywhere, and have never had a problem. I live in Las Vegas, and they hold up to the desert heat very well. I always liked them because they work well in the dirt, like in graded roads. Actually, they were used for flat track racing in the 70's. Besides all that, I like the period look.
