Title: Calvin Tire
Post by: Warba on June 23, 2015, 09:50:23 PM

I ordered a Metzler ME 880 for the rear a 140 80 17 and they sent one marked front. Does it make any difference? should I mount the tire on the rear or send it back and get the right tire?

I'm thinking you need a 140 80B 17 part number :bike-037:

I had the same thing happen to me a while back.  The tire handled OK, but wore out by 5000 miles. I'd return it and get the right one.

I'll send it back in and get the right tire, thanks.

Hard to believe they have a 140 tire for the front.

Send it back.
