Front Tire & Brakes
« on: June 17, 2012, 12:06:08 PM »

8500 miles on my bike, I need to replace front tire, the rear tire still looks good.
Any suggestions on that and a front break pad.

Thanks,

I have the exact same situation. Replacing front tire next Wednesday - my dealer recommended the Commander II, he claims they received very good feedback from other customers and their own tests, and price is more or less same. I'll give it a try.
Rear tire will be replaced later this year - will do another 3000+ km.

Are those the OEM tire sizes, or did you change them?

Lyndall racing brakes.  Z-Plus 7256 for the front and Z-Plus 7257 for the rear.  I have both and they work very well.
