Re: GT380M Restoration
Hi Peter,
Looking great! Would you mind letting me know what size AM26 tyres you’ve got fitted & are you happy with the fit to the rims?
My 380B needs new tyres but I’m not sure of the modern (metric) sizes to order.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: GT380M Restoration
Thanks Mike.
The tyres are Avon Roadrider Front 90/90-19 52V / Rear 100/90-18 56V
Fit is fine to me, no issues with rubbing either.

Re: GT380M Restoration
Baz also posted this in another section. You could go slightly wider and opt for the Bridgestone BT45's
FRONT BT 45F 100/90-19 57V
REAR BT45R 110/80 58H
I can't comment for any rubbing issues though.
