I am looking for a new 3.50 or 4.00 by 18 Metzler knobby. Prefer the 3.50. Does anyone know where I can get a NOS with this size on the tire. Thanks, Harris

I'm basing this reply on past experience - if it's for a 125, stick with the 3.50; the extra weight (and higher HP drain) of the 4.00 isn't worth it for the slight additional traction. Not to mention the higher price...
