I see the 18s are only listed in metric. Do you mind sharing what metric size you put on the front and rear?

You can buy the ContiGos at treatland.tv (San Francisco moped store online) in the stock 2.75 and 3.00 x 18 sizes. I just installed mine. They are quite a bit taller than the old Gazelles (Michelin).

I took the ContiGos on the Moto Melee (820 hard miles) and they were awesome. Modern profile tires really make the bike handle incredibly well. I lost traction slightly on the rear wheel a few times braking or downshifting, but the slip was easily controlled and not sudden.

Or buy Avon Roadriders at a great deal from 4into1.com in the metric sizes 90/90-18 and 100/90-18.

Thank you. I just ordered 2 sets and they even had a promo discount. Saved $40 plus hit the free shipping limit.
