Tire Question
Ordering my 120x70-21 and on the website they have two choices. One is 120x70-21 and one is 120x70V-21. I think are bias ply and the V is speed rated for up to 149 mph. The cost difference is $3. Any other differences? Thinking to go with the V rated?

Nope, not that I can tell. Its the avon venom AM41 like I am running now, just in a 21" diameter. The site lists two tires in the size I need. One is v rated and one isn't. There is $1 difference in price, so I was wondering what the difference really is.

Boy, I can't think of anything. Sooo, all things considered, logic would dictate the V-rated tire would have a stronger carcass to withstand the higher stresses of high speed. But would that compromise ride quality? I'll be honest and say that if i say anymore I'll be guessing.

Beautiful ride, BTW.
