Hi All,
Looking at options for a rear tire for my bike. I was told that the best option is to match the rear and front and I need a 130/70 17. It has a near new ContiSport Attack on the front but apparently that has been replaced by the Attack 2 and neither are made in the right fitment for the rear.
I have been to two bike shops and have been advised on another Pirelli Sport Demon on the back (it currently has one) and another shop suggested a ContiGo.
I have had a look at sizes and the Pirleli Sport Demon, Bridgestone BT45, Metzeler Lazertec, ContiGo and Michelin Pilot Activ all have the right sizes. I don't know what to get as I use my bike for lots of around town riding during the week, most weekends go for a ride and every so often go for a long ride up to Tauranga. It is my only form of transport so I ride rain or shine.
Maybe someone here could shed some light on the most sensible options?
Thanks
