I am at that happy time of needing a new rear tyre. I am toying with the idea of fitting a 150 instead of the standard 140. Yes i know they cost more, I am more concerned how how it might affect handling and preformance.

Some of the  questions. Should I have to fix a puncture, how much harder is it to do? Will a bigger version of the same tyre last longer and how much will the preformance/handling really improve. How much will it affect the gearing.

Than the other question, Which tyre should I try this time? yes maybe a 150 of one of the 140 I have used before.
