Re: tyre sizes
Jeffers,
I can recommend Avon Roadriders and also note they are the only UK manufactured motorcycle tyre (I think)
I have these on my GT750A and the confidence they give is great.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: tyre sizes
I love my Bridgstone BT45's and often take them to bed for the evening just to keep them smiling.

Re: tyre sizes
didge, i thought i was the only wierdo with a rubber fetish... i got a shock when i saw the prices of the BT45's might look at the Avons to compare.

I use to use dunlop arrowmax's for a number of years but the kettleclinic boys recommended BT45's so have just bought a pair 100/90 x 19 and 120/90 x 18 for £134 delivered, through one of the many website that seem to be a front end for Universal Tyres.
I didn't think £134 for the pair is too bad seeing some places were trying to charge nearly £180 for same tyres.
The site was recommended by one of the members http://www.motorcycletyres.uk.com
Their notification system was down when I ordered the tyres so I did get a bit concerned when I didn't get conformation of the order and the money went out my account but phoned up several numbers and spoke to someone and they confirmed order and said there was a delay getting the rear tyre but they both tyres arrived within 12 days.

Re: tyre sizes
I use the "tyreguys" on fleabay, next day delivery, nice guys too if you want to ring them and ask a question about tyre sizes or something relevent, they'll take your card details there and then if you wanted.
