Am finding these for a cheap price....are these OK?
When i went to a local tire store...they gave me the tire size of 130/70r18 for front, and 180/55r18 for rear. Their prices on Metrzer were 151 and 206 for front and back; Dunlaps were more expensive.

Found these on Amazon...will these suffice? I will be a casual weekend biker...not a power biker...

They're bridgestones, so they will be a great tire. I'd still go with the Metzelers if it was me though.

Thanks FISTer.

Are the Metzelers that much better for a casual user than the Bridgestones? Are those better on safety, longevity, or performance? Am just tempted by the $120 savings on the tires...

Many thanks

bridgestones are OK tires, but they will NOT last. maybe 5,000 miles. very soft. keep the air at 40 psi.

I have a Bridgestone on the rear of my 1800N and it has 9000 miles so far and can go another 1000 or so
before I replace it. I will go with the Bridgstones again or maybe the Commander 2's next.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No... F has 18 inch wheel...C has a 16 inch wheel...why the difference.

I've tried them all...not a Dunlop fan...wear, longevity, and road handling. Metz, Avon, Stones...are the M tires general used. Good luck.
