^^^ It's true. Plenty of tire threads.

I don't think Griffin has a bad idea with the Metzeler M3's. I've heard some good things about those tires, and they come in the sizes you're looking for.
However, I've heard plenty of good things about the Michelin PR2s, and the Bridgestones... and many other tires... LOL...

I couldn't find the PR2's in 150 rear. Also, the M3's are half the price from Ironpony. The only reason I'd be looking at the PR2's is for better mileage and at half the price, I figure that ain't a real problem to replace the rear with even three M3's I'll still be about even money wise.

There are quite a few places online that sell a 150/70 PR2. They are about $150-$170 for the rear.
I know bike bandit has 'em. Well... they say they do...
Not quite sure about Canadian suppliers, though, but I wouldn't think they'd be too awful hard to track down.

RTFM, sprock!!! Just like good mirrors, the Pre-'93 bikes didn't come with afterburners......

Do you even have a bike?
