I'm looking for a rear tire for my warrior.  Most of I do is cruise and explore.

Which one would you guys recommend.

Cruising and touring... i will for mileage...

AVON STORM ST SPORT TOURING RADIAL AV55 ST FRONT / AV56 ST REAR

Peter ... if i was in the market for a rear tire on the stock rim i would try the new Cobra AV72 - 200/55R17 because of their new tread design. I suggest you chk this out AVON

Here's a post by Bladerunr that you should read in its entirety before making a decision.

• Avon Cobra AV72 : http://rswarrior.com/forums/p/48829/671741.aspx#671741
• With the slightly larger aspect ratio the tire has a bigger dia @ 25.9" (stock=24.9") so the bike will sit higher. The recommended rim width is 6.25" which is a bit wider than the Warrior 6.00". The tire is designed for a 6.00 - 6.50 rim. The height of this tire is the same as the Dunlop 240/40R18 so you should pick up approx 4% mph difference over the stock size.

Thanx for the info.

One more Q: should I get only rear or both tires. If I keep my original bridgestone on the front and new Avon on the back

do that will make traction problems? Both have over 6k miles on them.

You will be fine running a different tire on the front been there done that.
