Now... I have a couple of questions. I am about to replace the rear tire, the front still has a good amount of miles to go. They were both Pirelli Corsa, not the Super Corsa. I am pretty much a Pirelli guy - call it stupid if you will.
Anyway, I was out shopping for tires and came across the newer Pirelli Corsa tire which has a 190 profile on it now. Just looking at the tire tells me it will be quite different to the 180 I wore out, and will corner so much better as it will lay down a larger contact patch. I am wondering about straight line stability though - not that it should matter in the canyons.
Does anyone know much about these tires? Any experiences with them? And is $150 installed too much to pay? I already took the rear wheel off myself. By the way, shouldn't the rear axle bolt have a cotter pin on it?
