The amount of miles these classics seem to do these days I doubt the longevity of the tyres is a problem, they'll be cracking with age before they are worn out in most cases.
That is the cheapest Dom, I trolled about for ages but tyres are always cheapest just after crimbo as the rubber market has a dip which reflects on the price. You generally save about 12% on list in January depending on manufacturer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I use Avon Roadrider Mk ll on all my classicsI find they're a good mix of grip, wear, ride quality, price and most importantly they don't do that horrible tramlining that affects most of the of the other tyres I've used in the pastThey also do a softer compound race version..

I can get 12K out of a rear tyre on a 1300 and that's a bloody heavy lump and that's not toddling around either. Even my worst rear tyre a Dunlop lasted 6K, most of these classics won't do that in 5 years. Personally I don't mind trading off wear for grip, I look at it as if it saves just one off it's paid for itself
