|  You can't fix a bike tire right?
My roomie just advised me my rear tire was going low, sure enough, rim was on the pavement. Tossed the thing on the center stand and that's a sizeable chunk of metal in the tire, probably 1/2" across, looks like someone took a think blade, inserted it and broke it off. Probably not what happened it's probably just road debris. Anyway, paranoia would likely keep me from trying to repair it if it were possible it was a couple months away from being replaced due to treadwear. Problem is I read a link here about the katana, and tires. 10 Basic Katana Upgrades @ MotorCycleAnchor.com It recommends the Metzler z6. Would I be a fool to mismatch tires, the front has plenty of tread and I'm already into this thing more than I'd care to be. I know matching tires is important, but how important in your opinions |
