    I need a rear tire, but am not sure what to go with.

    I commute on my bike daily with occasional trips on weekends. i am not an agressive rider so i dont need anything real race like, and most likely wont be doing a track day either.

    i was looking at the pilot road 2's and the bt021's but am not sure if there is something better out there for my needs

    thanks for the help!

    I have Conti road attacks and love them so far. I also hear good things about Avon storms, the new pirrilli(sp) angels, pilot road2's. Lots of good tires out.

    yeah i just read up on the pilot road 2's... people reporting anywhere from 13-18k+ on the rears! thats pretty impressive... im also on a budget some what...

    i found the PR2's for $147 shipped and the bt021's for $118... ill be calling or swinging by wcm to see what they have in stock and if they can match those prices...
