With the greatest respect Ted, the best thing for tyres which are 26 years old is a hacksaw cut right through them. I still have clear memories of a close friend of mine buying a used Suzuki Super Six which had been stood unused for just under two years. I watched as the rear tyre let go on him on a dry tarmac road. It will also enable you to see the condition of the rims on the inside. I always thought that my rims were in good condition, especially the rear one because it was kept rust free dut to chain lube fling. When I went to change the tyres, the insides of the rims were dangerously corroded. New standard size D.I.D. rims and spokes from Silvers, and to keep a fairly traditional look, I had Dunlop K82 tyres fitted. 3.00 x 18 front, and 3.50 x 18 rear. Classic tread pattern but modern rubber, and give enough grip for my antics, but at 74 years of age I think I'm probably more fragile than the bike now. Take care and have fun. Mike.
Hi TedI run Dunlop K82 's - not too expensive and ride well enough for my limited summer mileage.
