The Pirelli Sport Demons are also bias, not radial. This is a good thing (for me) as I understand you shouldn't run tubes with radial tires. Ed

Never heard that before. I have been running tubes in mine for a few decades now.

On Z1, 130 seemed too big for rim, so now running 110, but thinking 120 would be closer to ideal.

Good Fortune! :)

IM THINKING TO BUY THE METZELER LASERTEC 100-90V-18 FRONT AND 4.00V-18 REAR UNFORTUNATELY METZELER DOESNT MAKE THE 3.50-18 OTHER WISE I WOULD ALSO GO FOR THAT. ANYWAY WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT COMBINING INCH SIZE WITH METRIC. THE COMPOSITE AND THE TIRE MODEL ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. THANKS
