Well, just ordered from Jake Wilson. A new Metz ME880, H rated, $109+change. When it came to speed rating, she questioned me about the H vs. V, said the V was recommended. I told her the one I'm taking off is H rated and has over 15k on it, has given me great service, and besides.....at my age, nothing moves at 130 mph anyway. After she stopped giggling she took my order, total of $121.98 with a Dyna Beads kit and free shipping. Should be here no later than Thursday, I'll be riding by the weekend.

I assume thats a front tire. Even so, good price! The Metz is my second favorite tire.

I'll let you off easy this time. Re. the speed rating....they wanted $153.99 for the V rated version and $109 for the H. The H has been more than adequate for me since I bought the bike, the difference will look better in my wallet. |
