I have a mountain bike that I use strictly for fitness rides. I have Continental SportContact 26x1.3 slicks on both the front and back wheels, but I also have Specialized Nimbus Armadillo 26x1.5 spares. I am thinking about experimenting with a mix of both tires, and I'll like to know which I should put in the back or the front.
The Armadillo has a little bit of thread on it, while the Continental is a smooth slick.
So, which of the two tires would you put in the back and why?
Please note that the reason for the experiment is all pleasure. I am just interested in maybe making my ride a little bit "fun" or "interesting".
I ride about 60miles at a time, if that helps.
Thanks.
