Got to work this morning and found a nail in my rear tire. Only have about 2000 miles on the bike. After reading some of the threads on tire repairs, I concur that it really isn't safe to rely on a repair. I use the bike exclusively for commuting. No weekend romps, track days, etc. I commute 60 miles/ day. Mostly 2 lane straight, flat (no pun intended), roads. Majority of the commute is back roads (paved) through a national forest. Speed limit is 55, but traffic goes 65. I generally do not exceed 80 mph. I am looking for something that is better than stock and does well in the rain, yet isn't terribly expensive. I use Metzlers on my dirt bike and like them, but this is a whole different animal. Are Bridgestones, Dunlops, and such really that different?
