i have been looking at tires. and i'm torn between either

Continental Force sport
or
Maxxis Supermaxx

i want a tire to last me around 6-9k on the back any suggestions?

AND i also would like to know if i can fit a 180 on my stock swing arm with out having to make any adjustments?? i have a 170 on now and it fits fine... i would like to go up to the 180 cuz a bunch of tires i really like only start making them at the 180 size


Please help!

Thank you!!

 

I have a Metzler 180 on mine (not bad for the price) with room to spare.

 

+1 on the metzlers!

I had just mounted a set on my GL1800 Goldwing after a set of Avons cupped real bad.

The wife and I were out one day and I hit a concrete block that fell of a truck in front of us.

I hit the block dead on at 70mph. Nothing I could do but hit the block or hit the car next to us or go into the ditch so I road it out.

The block blew out the front tire instantly, but had enough integrity to allow me to come to a stop without crashing...

Metz on the wing all the time now, good tires, saved my life!
