Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Which tire where?
I found a new black/gray Michelin Axial Pro 700 x 23 (not the Light version) in my bike stash and am buying a Michelin Pro Race 3 to pair with it since Axial Pros are nowhere to be found these days. Which one would you run fore and aft? Why? Thanks!

Looks like the pro race is lighter I'd put it on the front, if one were larger I'd put it on the rear but they appear to be the same size... so the heavy dutier one goes on the rear jmho,ymmv
