Default Excella tires on

Finally put the rear Excella on today. I've only put about 5 miles on it-all road-and it doesn't seem too bad for such an aggressive tire. It was a little squirly on an uneven black top road that I was on, but it was great on the concrete roads. I'm sure this tire is going to be awesome in the muck, dirt, and sand. I will try and get the front on tomorrow and go for a long ride-covering all riding conditions. Will give a report soon. Oh yeah..I did it myself , Nobrakes. Went on pretty easy.

Excellent! Nice looking tire. Check out the photos of the Kenda 760 I posted a few moments ago. Good job on the install - that's money in your pocket!

I'll do that Gravy. Yesterday we had the first rain in almost a month, so the roads have been extremely slick. I decided that wasn't the best time to see how new tires handle on the road. It's supposed to dry out today, so I'll do my best to give a report tonight.

They are Excella Tornado's, and I got them through American Tire Co. I highly recommend ATC. The prices were great, and I had the tires in a few days.

Front:80/100-21
Rear:120/90-18

By the way-although Excella is relatively unheard of, I read an online article at Parts Unlimited and they said they are excellent tires..great value, and they have an all natural rubber compound which helps with durability, and traction.

I have the Excella on the front and its much better off road, Although The stock tire has better road manners I still prefer the Excella. The Excella on the road has a little more road noise and vibration. Here is some pics.
