I know its not a magna.
:shock:
But I am going to get new shoes before MOOTMag on the Valk. I have run on the past Metz and was not happy with feel or life. Also have run Avon Venom which like and wear is good.
Any suggestions?
No help here. I am just happy you are getting new rubber. Don't ever want to see cords showing like at Beaver's Bend... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Those are Scottish Stripes, Scots are proud to be so Frugal! You got your money's worth.
Hot Springs had cords showing on the front... I seem to run through tires just in time for MOOTMag to arrive.... I think its been 3 times now.. LoL..
Not a Magna or a Valk but I put Avon Venoms on my ride 2 weeks ago and have never enjoyed a tire more.
No you had a huge lump on the front tire at Hot Springs lol the cord cannot remember but was there I no that lol
I have had good luck with michelin motorcycle tires.
I have run the Venoms on this bike before and liked them. They are not currently making them for the Valks, they replaced them with the Cobra series, which I am running now. They are as close to the Venoms as I have found.
The Metz for the Valk I DO NOT LIKE at all... Love them on a Magna....
Thinking of going to the Darkside for the rear...

Here's one to think about. The Yokohoma Avid ENVigor. They make it in a 205/60/R16
I almost went with this tire.(http://www.guywheatley.com/photos/Yokohama.jpg)
The Bridgestone Potenza Grid G019 I bought is good, but I keep wondering if the ENVigor wouldn't have been less flat-footed.

Wow 45 psi... Thats much higher than I hear folks running them, actually I hear them running low 30's even upper 20's..... Maybe some more folks running them will speak up..
I have very much thought about going to the darkside on the Valk.... Just still not 100% sure, I guess I need to ride one with the car tire for more than a couple miles and get with it..
