Rocks Jr. Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 My rear tire is shot, as in won't pass inspection shot , it's a Metzeler MBS Marathon tire (130/90B 17 74H). However, I can't seem to find that tire for sale anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good all around rear tire matching the above size? Thanks. Link to comment
Twisties Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Google 130/90 17 tire Lots show up. Link to comment
mbelectric Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'd prob try a Metz Lasertec, although a little softer compound, a great all around tire...you won't get the same wear as a me88 though... MB> Link to comment
notacop Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The catalog outlets have scads of tires for good prices. Depends on what you pay for installation. My local tire outlet mounts and balances for the price of the tire, dismounted, of courses. It's good to keep the local guys in business. I get a bit of a dicount due to repeat business. Lots of us swear by several brands and you will get varying milage due to use. one set of Stradas went 10K the next set I wore out in 4500 miles. Squid here! Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 We don't know how much you know about tire sizing, so just in case: You state "130/90B 17 74H". Of that only 130/90-17 is important, the other codes change from brand to brand and tire type to type. It is a very popular size tire. Link to comment
