When I got my new second hand bike it had just had a new rear Metzeler put on it. The front is Avon and looking only a few thou away from replacement. What’s a good front to run?
Merely FYI -
But me reckons you can indeed improve on a front Avon Cobra.
I have run several Avon Cobras up front and on the rear.
The Michelin Road 5 150/70ZR17 is a much better handling tire.
Mate just dont let him try and fit a DS to your Rear Rim , he tried for me and gouged/bent it slightly , haha after that he refused to ever try putting a car tire on a bike ever again.
