Will need a new rear tire for inspection in Sept. Bike came with a Battlewing up front (has well over 50 percent of its tread) and a Mich. Anakee in the rear. The one thing I don't like about the bike is that the rear brake doesn't give much feedback before the wheel locks up (maybe that's just me going from cable drums on a 40 year old daily rider to these new hydro. thingies). Anyways since I have a battlewing up front that I haven't had any complaints on I was thinking of going with the same in the rear (although they are tubeless going on my tube rim). I ride to work 90 percent of the time regardless of weather. Yes I've ridden to work to go plow or lay salt down so a good all around mostly road with some fire roads would be fine with me. Ride about 3-5k a year.
