Greetings,
The tires I have run on my Ambassarado have ranged from the Chen Shin
(wouldn't recommend. low $), Pirelli (good service. mid-high $),
Bridgestone (good service. low-mid $), Dunlop (good service. mid $)
currently running K491's.
Like others I have seen I HAD ALWAYS ran largest on the rear 120 if they
fit and 110 front regardless of brand.
After having a person whom I respect their opinion state that "The
Ambo/Eldo had the same size tire's on both ends for a reason" I tried
that and MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!
My input would be to fit the same size (110-90/80) front and rear of the
tire brand you most feel confortable with. The steering and handling
overall is SO MUCH different it was amazing.
Ride Safe,
Hacksaw

 now that the ambo is running good enough to get it out of town I need to
replace the dry rot tires on it. What is good? I'd want something with
good mileage, road "grip" isn't super important also don't want to spend
an arm and a leg for them. Just something dependable.
thanks
Steve
