Well after 11k on the stock Metzlers, I find myself in need of some new rubber. I'm not sure which tire I'm going to get yet, but, I have a question about sizing.
I'm thinking of going to a 140 on the rear, but, don't want to negatively affect handling. If fact, I'd like the bike to actually handle a tad quicker in the twisties. Therefore, would it make sense to go w/ a 140/80 and a 110/80 on the front to put more weight toward the front of the bike? Any thought or past experiences would be appreciated.
And not to turn this into a "what is the best tire" thread (beaten to death and highly subjective), but, I'm currently considering the Sport Demons (would be my first choice, but concerned about durability), Avon AM26 Roadriders, and have read some good reviews about the Conti Road Attacks (in my research it seems the narrowest rear is 150, which I think is wider than I'd like to go).
BTW- I was never in love w/ the Metz, which is why I'm considering a change.
