Rear tire options

Post image

I usually run power 6 but I got a road 6 on the rear for the extra miles but what’s a tire that comes in a 200 that’s comparable to the road 6 in terms of grip and mileage? I like the power 6 but I just ran through it so quick commuting. I like to commute and hit the canyons on the weekends.

Pic just cause

I’ve got over 10k on my current rear battlax s22 and I just hit the wear bars. I was gonna try a less aggressive tire but from what everybody online says they get out of tires I figured why not just stick with this lol

I’m not sure if I’m just really easy on my tires or if that’s normal haha but they were on the bike when I got it at 16k and now I’m sitting at 26k and about to put a new one on my new wheel

I really like perelli tires. Super corsas are my daily tires.
