I am confused, that first link I sent you was for a 120/70/17. So that tire should be fine. It says front tire right in the picture.
The second was for a 150/70/17 rear. Had several options on taobao though so you should be able to get a 150 or 160/60/17

First of wall... What VPN do you use? Who is your ISP?Quote:

Next, get a good VPN like express. Yes it costs more but significantly improves your life experience. I have tried everything. Viper, smart, pure, nord etc... nothing compares to the quality of express vpn. If you do get it, let me know. If I refer you we both get a free extra month.
With those two things I get about 15m down and 3m up and everything is available. Without vpn though, my connection is 50m fiber.
The next thing you can do is change to a good Korean DNS, I have the best luck with Korean DNS's. US and Chinese DNS's seem to lag terribly.
Feel free to shoot me a message if you have trouble with that sort of thing. I am happy to help sort it out.
It's me that was confused. I went to the Shinko Korea site to look at the sizes and specs, thinking it would be the most comprehensive.Quote:

The Shinko US page lists more sizes including the 120/70 front and further clarifies the 120/90 is front/rear tire. I am just having dumb luck.

Thanks for the info! That would be a massive increase in my quality of life.Quote:

Ended up with the Pirelli Scorpion Trail due mostly to price and availability. Very little experience, but so far I am impressed with the wet adhesion. I presume due to high silica content.
To park at home I must ride up a semi slick granite slab that serves as a "bike ramp" to clear 5 stairs. The intention of course is to push your bicycle up and down the ramp as you walk alongside on the stairs.
If there's any moisture you'll bust yourself attempting to walk up or down the ramp itself. The neighborhood kids make a sport of it. The electric scooter spins all the way up. My Duke's stock Conti Sport Attacks required a good rolling start and would still slip the rear enough to scuff the tire all the way around. The Pirellis just dug in and climbed right up the wet ramp, no discernible slip.
I might try the Shinkos next time if I find I need more off-road capability, but even the most glowing reviews were qualified with "great tire for the price". Unfortunately the Shinkos are priced like a premium tire here。
