Help with tyres

**alldread** · 29th December 2008, 13:42

Need some new tyres for my 2007 speedmaster it came standard with Metzlers front and rear and I have travelled 14000ks so far and the front is gone, back almost gone. Just wondering if anyone out there has a Speedmaster or America and what they are running on and mileage travelled etc,I just got a price for the front at $250. Rear at $430.Any help or comments appriceated. Thanks

Thats an expensive rear man!

There are a few cruiser specific tyres out there - or if you like to give it a bit of stick look at the dual compound sports-touring tyres, you'll get stick on the edges and reasonable wear from these.

What is a Speed master, and what are the tyre sizes?

If they are 170-80-15

I would try one of these
Conti Milestone

Milestone Tyres
