I run Dunlop K82 's - not too expensive and ride well enough for my limited summer mileage.

I've been offered Dunlop K82 or Avon Road Runner 2 either @ £158 pair, or Metzlers @ £107 pair.
I liked the Metzlers on my XJ 900 they seemed good at resisting the overbonding wiggle!

Yes you're right they can have a tendency to pick up a seam in road repairs a little bit!

Well dropped off my spare hubs today to get my wheels built at central wheel components.
I was advise that front 3.00 x 18 tyres of very difficult to get hold of - they tried to talk me into a slightly wider front rim but am reluctant to change it due to any clearance issues I might have ?
Anyone here know if its feasable to safely go slightly wider on the rim without issue on the mudguards etc , my rims are 1.6 x 18 Front & 1.85 x 18 Rear ?

Vintage Tyres of Beaulieu have 3.00 x 18 Dunlop and Avons in stock

Thanks I'll see where it goes for now as I have been dealing with Warren at the wheel place who said he coud supply Avons that he recommended but he is abroad so I saw Chris instead.
Might just be an internal issue. I'll certainly look at the firm you mentioned i did not want them to build wheels that I could not find a tyre for - much appreciated. Ted
