A cb360. Tyre choice

(1/3) > >>

nairb:
Well its time to get some new rubbers for those 1974 cb360 wheels.  They are 3.00x18 front & 3.50x18 rear. 
The choice seems to be some Metzeler - ME77 front & rear Or some Dunlop K82's

Just wondering if anybody has tried either of these or have another suggestion.  I normally like Bridgestone Bt45 but there is not the same size match for these.

Thanks

Hi Nairb,
I've used ME77s few times. Good grippy tyres. See if you can get a ME11 for the front though. Better stability in a straight line.

Yes I would prefer the ME11 for the front but they only come in 3.25x18. 
Would a 3.25 still fit the rim??.  Nearly twice the price also.

If a 3.25 will fit it gives even more options.  But an me11 front & me77 rear is a good option.

Lets not forget this is a 46 year old 360cc bike.  Not like one of the rampant power beasts of today.

Thanks

So I found a set of tyres on the Demon Tweeks website...... 3.25-18 & 3.50-18 rear (Metzelers). The site said they would be in stock in 10 days.  A quick phone call to Tweeks confirmed that they should be back in stock within 2 weeks.
I placed the order..... Today I had a confirmation email stating the tyres will be back in stock early March.  2 Months time.  Not the 2 weeks as said over the phone.

Do I wait the 2 months ?? or cancel.  The deal is good value compared to other suppliers.  But will they be on time in 2 months.

The other option - Pneus Online doe not supply to the Uk at the moment.

Difficult to trust a company that says one thing on its website and something else when they have the money.  Annoying.
