AFAIK the rear 130/80 R 17 "Steel Radial" is only available in "H" anyway,
same goes for the non-R 130/80-17, which I would not use, tho; it's just
that "Steel Radial" concept that makes the rubber last so long.

RD07s generally have 140/80 R 17 sizes, but the 140 also fits RD03 and
RD04, but I prefer using the 130 (original) size. 
Since it's already illegal using a radial tyre with a non-radial on the
same bike, I don't want to risk further trouble by using "oversize". Large
tires are for posers, anyway.

Has anyone already been able to try the new Metzeler Tourance (the "Enduro
5") ? It is available for R11GS & Co, but as it seems not quite yet for
normal bikes with decent wheel sizes (21" front... )
