Here is the tire:

Putting it on this weekend..probably. Trying this tire as the Kumho's are no longer available. Wanted a narrow tire for my girlfriends bike.

Will update here.......

Mentioned this in another thread but the Vredstein sidewll blew out. Installed a kumho powerstar 758 165/80-15 instead. Rides nice and smooth.

Need to go test the rear brake now. Before, if I applied too much rear brake or downshifted, I got the back end, sideways, shimmy. Thinking this will go away....
