Michelin Anakee Tires
Written by senorcosta on 6/29/2010 at 02:03 am

Thanks fred
I have the K555's on there now and I am really not crazy about them at all. I've
had 880's before but they really are not good in the rain. And here in NJ, rain
comes out of nowhere in the summer. Of the one's listed which do you feel is the
best in the rain?

"Universal" meaning front or rear application, you reverse the direction for
front from rear.

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.

Roadrider 120/80-17. There is not enough clearance on the front fender to use a
larger tire than stock size.
