I've heard good things about the Avon Storms! I'll give them a look-see. Thanks!

Wonder if you could get something like the Road 2s in that size? Don't know if you'd ever hit the side compound though.

Need Marko to get me some info on his uncle's...

Well, I just learned that another Magna owner on another board rolls a 170 in the back with no probs. So I might go up to a 160 since I know there are a lot more options to choose from in the 160 and up sizes. 150's kinda limited from what I can see.

EDIT: I feel like a dummy The rear tire is actually a 150/90-15

That's what I get for looking online for the tire size instead of looking at the dang tire.
