How about recommendations for a front tire.  I had very bad luck with Metzler.

I always run Avons on the front. I've had no reason to try anything else and quite frankly I will not try anything else. I am completely satisfied.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I've had OE Dunlop, E3 Dunlop, Avon and Metz. The Metz is
the best, IMHO. Avon 2nd....but it's not really a close 2nd.

Avons ride funny on every bike I have owned, at least on the front.

Metz has a better front.

Avon does well on the rear. For me.

Avon Cobra for me.  E3 is a close 2nd.  Metz was the worst in terms of mileage.

I just finished installing a Kenda Challenger about 1 hr ago.  Gonna try it out tomorrow. While I had it out, I installed some more green leds inside the fender. Gotta let the silicone dry. I also used hotglue to keep it from slipping.
