Metzeler ME11-ME77 Classic
Bullit:
I like the look of the Metzeler's what model did you choose and are they on standard width rims?
The Avon has a fairly large gap around the mudguard which is what I want to eliminate. Do you think that maybe a 100/90 would be better to fill that gap?
When I picked mine up it had a 2.75 on the front
Bullit:
I'm liking the look of the ME77 shape and tread. Now just size to decide on.
Has anybody tried 3.50(100/90) front and 4.00(110/90) rear???
Lynx:
I stuck with the standard sizes but they looked and felt great.

I think there is an issue with rim widths.
If I've got it right if you fit a wider tyre on the standard rim you get more curvature and thus a smaller contact area with the road.
The standard rear rim is wider than the front to cope with the wider tyre.
Bullit:
I thought that might possibly be the case. Was hoping somebody might say, been there, done that, did/didn't work.
I haven't thrown away the old tyres yet so might try the old Dunlop off the back on the front
