Looking to replace the Metzeler Tourance EXP tyres on the Strada shortly. These have been a good tyre but I only ride on the road so wanted to get a sports/touring tyre. Having difficulty in finding a pair of tyres in the correct size - 110/80 r19 and 140/80 r17 - So the short list are the Metzeler Tourance NEXT which has a dual compound rear or a pair of Michelin Anakee 3. Neither are a sports/touring tyre but are the best I am able to get as a matched pair. Does anyone have experience with either tyre for road use only or can suggest another set of tyres? Was told the Anakee 3 generate a bit of noise and are only a single compound. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated
For standard size, Pirelli scorpion Trail 2. You can fit a 150/70 on the rear, then you can use Bridgestone T30 or A40
I really like the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres I put on my Terra. The bike feels so much more stable on the road now also during high speeds and in the rain. I presume that the STII is also perfect for the Strada.
