Michelin Anakee Tires
Written by goldwingman40 on 6/27/2010 at 04:53 am

Costa,
Dunlop has the K555 in PC sizes, Metzeler also has ME880 in PC sizes.
Avon now has a Roadrider series to fit the front, 120/80-17, it is called a
"Universal" meaning front or rear application, you reverse the direction for
front from rear.
Also many have used various 140/90-15 on the rear in place of the stock
140/80-15 size with good results. One that some have used are Shinko 230. Some
have used a Brigstone BT45, I think, 120/80-17 rear on the front by reversing
the rotation direction from what it is marked for the rear.
The Dunlop front K555 wants to wiggle on grooved pavement.
I am getting ready to try a Shinko 230 140/90-15 on the rear and a Avon
Roadrider 120/80-17. There is not enough clearance on the front fender to use a
larger tire than stock size.
