as above really - the only off put for my commute is i dont have a lot of trust in the tyres after a couple of front end slips and one fall.. can you get wider tyres on these? i dont know the implications of wider tyres on bikes as im still getting used to bikes over cars. any help would be great. cheers! currently on - front - 275 - 18 rear - 300 - 18 - 52j |

The brand of tire will do more for traction... Buy BT-45's in the width recommended for the rim width... Wider tires will only wreck the profile, I learned this the hard way. Anyway, I've had nothing but confidence with BT-45's, my front end has never slipped out on me. |

just read into the profile - not something you ever consider on cars... looking at the contigos as they have more of a road pattern as apose the the sort of off road type i have on now. but will look for your suggestion now! cheers mate. |

It all depends on what you consider road rash worth... 3 things you don't cheap out on are brakes, tires and a helmet. |
