V7 front tires
« on: September 04, 2023, 07:35:40 AM »
HI, what tire do you recommend for the front on a V7? I have a III Special with a Conti Trail Attack 3 about to get mounted, replacing my 2nd Road Attack 3, which were great but no longer available. I see Bridgestone makes the Battelaxe T32 in both possible sizes.....figuring I go with 11/80 x18 this time. And Pirelli makes the Sport Demon, which is bias ply but I don't think it really matters if I mix as I ride at 8/10ths maximum probably. I know the Dunlop Mutant is a good tire but it looks too weird in combo with the Conti rear. I even looked at the Bridgestone A41 adventure tire since I do hit gravel or oil and chip roads often enough. What do you guys like? TY

A41 and T32 both  work well.
