Tyre Recommendation

[paulbaker1954]

I am sure this has been asked a hundred times but i am looking for tyre recommendations for my 500 4 project

I would prefer to err with more modern technology  that privides maybe asofter compound and bettrer grip han trying to keep a "classic" look

What would fellow riders recommend

[Johnwebley]

I use Avons

  Roadrider,   3.25 X 19 front

                      4.00  X 18 rear,

they grip well,run at 27 psi front,33 psi rear,


  great dry and wet grip,

will last about 4,500 miles on the rear,maybe double on the front,

[paulbaker1954]

Thanks
Probably a stupid question but i note the Roadrider is shown as a tubeless tyre do you have to fit tubes anyway on the honda rims

[hairygit]

Yes, and if you use tubeless tyres with a tube, it reduces the speed rating. Therefore a V rated tyre becomes H rated, but that is not an issue with our bikes due to the fact H rated is more than adequate for the speeds they are capable of.

I've got Roadriders as well and they're great

[JustcallmeMrT]

Roadriders here as well.

Look like Roadriders get the majority vote then
