I apologize in advance for asking about something that has been so much discussed.
But since so many of the tire threads end of as Avon vs. Metzeler discussions, and since I can see that many of the posters have tubes, I'm a bit confused as to how much crossover there is between spoked and cast wheel tire options.
Has anyone put Pirelli Sport Demons on an EFI bike with Cast aluminum wheels? If so, how did it go?
Or—am I supposed to stick with Radial tires on the cast wheels?
Also, if I increase the size of the rear tire to 140/80/17, should I also increase the size of the front tire to 120/70/17?
