Replacement tyres
Oddjob:
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.

Aye,
I think that's probably relevant to most folk on this forum, but I still manage around 3000 miles a year and so offer my comments from experience.

I 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 past
They also do a softer compound race version..

Haven't Avon closed up shop now. So probably just old stock left.

I'd assumed they were still being made but not in the UK
