Title: Continental Tire
Post by: Brute on January 11, 2015, 07:12:21 PM

There is a recall on some of the 17" front (120) SM tires. I got a notice and my front is part of the recall. If you have Continental tires you might check into it.

There are others that may know better but the Conti SM tire seems to be a favorite. My wheel was slightly offset when ProCycle set it up for me but it still rubs just a bit.
