Finally getting my bike back on the road, I need a new rear tire. Currently on the bike is a Dunlop K591 150/80 b16 71V. I was curious to know what the thoughts are on this tire and should I get it again. I don't have enough miles in the saddle to know if it is or not. I found one on ebay and it is very affordable to me at this time.
Are there comparable tires that might be better in rain and normal riding. I do not normally ride in the rain but if I do, I'd like something that would be ok. Super high performance is also not a factor.
I was also wondering if I can go up a size or two to a fatter tire.
