    Default Rear Avon Venom on front of Nomad

    I just mounted a rear Avon Venom 150/80VB16 (backwards) on the front of the Nomad. It sure fills the fender. My initial impression in the curves is good. It makes leaning with the rear car tire much more like there is a motorcycle tire back there. Very little input needed to initiate and maintain a lean. Of course the new profile will gradually change in time.

    Approximate tread depth in center 7/32", mid 8/32", and near edge 4/32"

    Hopefully I will get more than 10,000 miles from this tire.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for tire pressure?
