Tire Question

Post by firedawg on Wed Feb 04, 2009 6:50 pm

Ok, hopefully a simple question. I have ME 880s on my front tire and ME 88 on the rear. Is this a normal combination and would it cause any handling issues?

I can't see that this combination would be any problem on your bike. With proper pressures the bike should handle fine. In any case we all know tires are not a lifetime decision. You'll have plenty of opportunities to try other tires as time goes by. Ride it and enjoy. tony
