Bridgestone Exedra Tires on the 175? other options listed
« on: January 26, 2016, 12:50:18 AM »
OK... I'll admit, I am really leaning on Bridgestone tires...well... just because.
I see in the parts catalog that the 175HS came with 3.00 - 18 on both front and rear.
That is the only size the Exedra tires come in.
I'm used to putting a wider tire in the rear but that usually on a much more powerful bike.

My 175HS has old decaying Avon off road tires on it. It has a 2.75 front and 3.5 rear.  But I plan to ride it on the street.

Heidenau K45 3.0-18 front and 3.5-18 K65 rear is an option but expensive.

Duro HF317 3x18 is another option for front and Duro HF314 3.5 x18 for rear

IRC GS11 makes a 3x18 and 3.5x18 but those are only H rated.  

The Michelin Gazelle comes in a 3.00 - 18

Nobody seems to make a matching set of street tires that are 2.75x18 and 3.5x 18 like what is currently on the bike.

I'm open to thoughts or other tire suggestions.  Thanks!

The IRC tires do make good tires and are relatively inexpensive.  I wouldn't worry about an H rating, you're not going to exceed that rating, even on a long downhill.    ;D
