Best front tire for the money
06/21/08 at 07:42:13

My front tire is nearly 10 years old and needs to be replaced.

I've looked around and it seems that most of the tire makers have a 100/90-19 in stock. Prices seem to range from $50 to $120.

The IRC and Ching Shen (?) seem to be the cheapest. The Metzlers seem to cost the most.

In between, what tire has the best performance for the cost. Pirelli has this size tire for a decent price. Is it any good?

Also, would you recommend replacing a 10 year old tube?

Thanks for info and opinions.

Bob.

I'm springing for Metzelers, new tubes, new rimstrips. The tires are you sole contact with the world -- doesn't pay to be cheap. Metzeler only does one thing. They wouldn't still be in business if they didn't do that one thing right.
