double Dark - what do you think of this rear/front

[blackdogbrian]

Hi Folks,

Going Darkside - double double
I've decided what rear (car) tire I'm going to mount.
Now for the rear tire on the front.... what do you think of this one?

Not alot of folks mentioning that they have perelli's on here.
I am going to put a rear tire on the front... so if you have suggestions, please keep it to the rear (er eh I mean front? http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif)

Thoughts - feedback?

Thanks!
B.

Which rear tire did you select?

[blackdogbrian]

or.... how about this one

It's a universal fit - meant to go either front or rear.
So that probably means it's got directional arrows for either mounting.

But if that's the case, is it likely a softer rubber like a front tire or frim like a rear (or somewhere in between?)

EDIT - I just checked - that site is out of stock/back order.
I need to get this ordered PDQ

Ranger - going with the Bridgestone Turanza. I can get it locally in a size that fits....... now I just have to find somewhere that will mount it.
(none of the bike shops will). But I have a friend.....(famous last words).
I also read a few reviews on it lately and folks who have mounted it seem happy.
but really - it comes down to supply - I have a trip coming up soon and want new 'shoes' mounted and worn in before I leave.
