All:
In getting my bike ready for PA inspection, I noticed that my front tire is at the ware indicators. Additionally, I'm starting to get a slight wobble between 40 - 55 miles an hour. I say slight in that I don't notice it if I'm holding the handle bars, however, if you let them go, the side to side movement begins. Since I haven't hit anything hard and there is no pulsing when breaking, I'm thinking I'm either out of balance or shifted a belt. Anyhow, long story short, I'm thinking of replacing the OEM Bridgestones with Metzler's. My no-so-local dealer can get the Lasertec (front) and the ME880 (rear) in for me and mounted/balanced by Friday. My question is, are these good tires? According to Internet reviews they appear to be, however, I'd like to hear first hand from the family. Does anyone have them on their bike now? If so do you like them? Would you buy another set?
For the record, my alternative tire is the Avon Venom. Should I consider something else? I'm hearing whatever I choose will be a step up from the OEM Bridgestones.
Any feedback would be great!
Thanks!
