... ,proper inflation checked weekly, ... Proper inflation being about 45 pounds at the rear?
It certainly shouldn't be cupping at 2000 miles. |

205-60-16 and I run a Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread. Try to find one such as the toyo in the previous pics with the V type tread pattern which is what the Goodyear I run is. I ride hard and run mine at 42 psi and have found that works for me, I have got great grip on all surfaces in all conditions and the tire has lasted me for 15,000 miles or so and still has enough tread to last till mid winter. I also prefer a Metz or Avon front.

Gear Jammer, Is your Toyo a 55 series or a 60 series?

I believe the 205-55-16 will give you a bit higher revs at highway speed in top gear as opposed to a 205-60-16. As for my Metz front, I went for a ride today and noticed that its nearly gone after just 6,000 miles  That will be my 1st and last Metz, back to Avon fronts from now on. I get 12,000 outa them. |
