    dont know if ne1 will check n reply but, i have been lookin at tires for months now. i see alot of ppl say for this bike that the cont gos are best to use. well, the rear is not a prob but the front is not the same. they only have 120/80 not the 110/90, so i guess my question is, how much of a diff will it make if ne? and i forgot, the rear has a few different choices, 150/70 vs 130/80, will it fit with no messing around or just stick with the original, and if there is ne benifit?

    not to say your wrong, but i would like more reviews, if u will, on the bt45v n the contigos. the only thing i dont know about is the front tire being a lil different, if it will improve or not handling and all that. i dont want to buy something that will only last me one summer either. i dont remember what the tires that are on it now but i put almost 4k on them n they were down to 35% when i got the bike, and still have some tread left on them.
