Re-tiring the Rebel 1100 // Metzeler Cruisetec Tires

I'm finally re-tiring my Rebel! The original Dunlop's have worn very well, but the rear tire is getting thin and needs to be refreshed. I chose the Metzeler Cruisetec's based on glowing recommendations from @ontherebel11 and @LifeOfBurch . This is a long, wandering video, so use the chapter markers below to skip around.
