[QUOTE="JohnnyQuest, post: 1436189, member: 92279"] Okay, here is another question to this old, tired, and worn out thread. But first, an update. I did send back the one tire with the 4116 date code, re-ordered from another supplier, and guess what I got? Another rear tire with a date code of 4116! So I am thinking the Road Attack 2 tire may be just to old, production wise, so I will send them both back, and probably go with Continental Road Attack 3's. I like the idea of going to a 190 rear tire vs. the 180, to help turn-in a bit. I have a 31" inseam (6' tall), so I think I can get away with it. But my question is this? Would the recommendation be to go with the RA3-GT, (which I can only get in the 180 size), or with the standard RA3's? I believe the GT's have a little stiffer side wall, to handle more weight, (ie luggage and a pillion). A set of each at RevZ are both about $350. What do you think?
