Thanks again!! I was thinkin the 140 & Metzlers, but the Metzlers are 2x the cost ofthe Battalax's. I may go for the 140 since it seems that it maintains the handling & loks a little better? She gets a new shoe this week tho. Front can wait another 2-3k miles. Duh- Iforgot the speedo runs off the front tire. O well- woulda been nice tocorrect the error? Thanks again all!!
