CB400F Tyres - Recommendations please?

(1/3) > >>

Lobo:
Hi all,

Thoughts on best tyres for my restoration... the bike on correct rims etc. Realise a lot of potential answers here, but as anticipate only very low mileages am not concerned in saving pennies in pursuit of low wear. Also, despite wanting the bike 'original' as possible, safety / capability of the tyre must rank higher as I'm adverse to falling off!

Back in the 70's I used the Avon RoadRunners.... but am well behind the times now & so seek help.

If giving advice can you suggest a good source, ebay or otherwise if you know of one.....

Cheers,
Lobo.

For correct "period" look and good handling you can get Metzeler perfect me77 rear and perfect me11 front. you can look at them here

The modern Roadrunners maintain the old tread pattern but use modern compounds. Best of both worlds?

Avon taken over by Cooper from the USA and now they are owned by the Chinese (?) Indians (?)

Are tt100s still around?I looked on your link and all I could see was roadriders not roadrunners.Forgive me been out of it for a while are they what you are talking about?In my day they were the best and the alternative was Joke ahamas which Honda fitted.
