Charlie,
Do you change your own tires? Difficult? Do you always replace inner tubes
when replacing tires? Bob

When it's tire time and I can't get the TKH24, I use the Conti-Tour TK17 120/90-18 rear. Either way you get great tires for a reasonable price. Last I checked Tire Express www.tireexpress.com had |
for $52 front and $59 rear (or the TK17 for $63). My experience with the Contis (and Tire Express - I've never gotten a tire more than a year old) |
very positive. The Blitz fronts last for 12,000 miles and the rears |
the TK17 has been on my '69 Ambo for 9,000 miles now and looks about half worn. I'm not an agressive rider, but I also don't baby the old beast. |
work equally well in the dry or wet, have very predictable handling characteristics and fill out the fat fenders well. If they had more of a retro look they would perfect to me. The only other tires I have any experience with is the Dunlop F11 front |
491 Elite II in the same sizes. We used this combo on my friend Dan's Eldo and so far, so good. No info. on longevity yet - he hasn't put enough |
on them for that. However, they seem to be at least as good in all other areas. Happy shopping, let us know how whatever you choose works out!
