Yep, you're right. I didn't check the date. Anyway, Is there a 170 storm? There's so many sites out there and they all have different listings of Avon tires. Or, is the 170 a "Storm". If so, have you heard of any problems mixing the two?

I'm running the same tire/wheel combo he was and it's perfectly safe and handles better than the 19" especially at the higher speeds. I've got about 7000 miles on the combo.

I have the same 21" front set up. No problems. An easy mod using the stock hub and 21" spokes.
