I too have been studying the load ratings of different brands. The problem I've run into is, nobody seems to make a 120/70 12 that is designated as a rear tire, they are either front or front/rear (which is probably the same design, construction, and compound as one sold as a front tire). Wish I could use a 130/70 12...lots of 'rear' tires in that size (with much higher load ratings), but I have just barely enough room between shocks for a 120.
So yesterday I ordered a "City Grip", it is sold as a front tire (in my size).... 5% off plus free shipping.....$47 and change.....We will see how it goes. If I can squeeze 3000 to 3500 miles out of it, the cost per mile, will be the same as my previous bargain tire.
