This is showing the radial BS tire, 4 on hand, at Dennis Kirk. But if the radial has been discontinued, is this an OLD tire? Is that an important consideration? can I put it on with an ME880 onthe front? The front isn't too badly worn. I don;t mind replacing the front if I have to.


I am in serious need of a rear tire. the local Honda place quoted me $14 to mount the tire if I bring the wheel in. Can't beat that I don't think. So I need to find a good tire at a reasonable price. I've always had good service from Dennis Kirk. The Honda place couldn't find a good price on tires for me, and they did try.

Thanks
Randy

From the "B" after the 160/70 I would guess this is a bias tire. Also notice the write up says this is a "W" speed rated tire while the sidewall description is "V".

BRIDGESTONE 160/70B-17 M/C 79V BT 020R BATTLAX

Of course the write up could be correct, and then this isn't an LT tire.

I went back and caught that too. Not sure what they are selling there. Price is pretty good though. I may call and see if they can figure it out. And go from there.

Thanks
