I am moving to Portland, Oregon so I am getting ready for riding in the rain on some nice twisty roads on my M2. Rain tires sound like a good idea and I am considering Dunlop 616 Ully tires and Avon Pro-xtreme A49 and A50 racing rain tires with soft compound. I would really like to use the Avons but I have castalloy wheels that are sized for 170s but the Avons only come in 160 and 180 sizes for the rear. Would I be better off with the 160s or the 180s? Or, are there other rain tires I should consider? Thanks, Dave | ||

Had Avon 180's on my M2 for years. Loved them. | ||

Michelin pilot road2's work great on my S2, even in standing water. There's a new road3 that is supposed to be even better in the wet. | ||

I am running Pirelli Angels and they have been great. | ||

The best wet weather tires I've used are Pirelli Scorpion Syncs. I would definitely go one size up vs down. Going down in size flattens the profile a bit. | ||

True. I run a 180 rear on my S2 (in the PR2) and it fits just fine. It does tip in a little more aggressively, but I don't dislike it. |
