Sorted out my binding brakes today and was looking forward to getting out. Check tyre pressures and the rear has a flat. A small piece of metal just off center is responsible
The bike currently has a Michelin Power Sport (soft) 160 60 zr 17 on the back with matching front. I was very happy with the tyre so should I go for a direct replacement or should I go for something else and change both front and back while I'm at it?
Puncture :( Not sure what replacement to go for?

How much tread is left? might be able to get it plugged.

It's approaching the wear indicators so I'm not sure it's worth plugging.
Though at £140 for a replacement it might be worth it for those last few milimeters!!
Does anyone know of a cheap supplier?
