There is a table on page 7 of this document which may give some guidelines.

I recall that I posted this link once before and someone pointed out that the tyres it recommended for the 400 are narrower than those other makers recommend.
Standard front rim is 1.6, rear is 1.85, recommended tyre sizes from the document are 80/90 front and 90/90 rear.
I use Avon RoadRiders, they recommend 90/90 front and 100/90 rear.
So maybe worth seeing whether other sources say the same, 90/90 may be a bit narrow on the front.

Phil I have a 130/80V 18 66v on the rear and a 90/90 18 51v on the front, they are Avon road riders, I said road runners before by mistake.

Thanks Mark

Hi guys
I may be looking too deep at this but have been looking at Avon tyre catalogue which gives all widths, revs per mile, etc. http://www.avonmoto.com/download/Avon_mc_databook.pdf
Questions
1) As I'm still waiting for 18 inch 2.15 rim to come into stock - as revs per mile is cocked up using a 18 inch rim (speedo), if I use 19 inch with 3.25 section ( seems skinny? - as recommended by Avon) - is handling any better/worse for 'not on the edge road riding'? Or is it about cosmetics (CR used 18s I think)
2) Should I just go for 4.00 on back to save cocking up gearing? Or slightly wider 130/80? Same question as above.

Anybody any experience of using above on road comments appreciated. Sorry to drag this out but going to be spending 500 squid and want to get it right!

Thanks again
Phil

Mines got stock size Avon roadriders fitted 19"F 18"R wheel, I have no complaints at all.

The only thing I would say about the 19" Front Wheel is you will find that the bike drifts wide slightly coming out of corners, but its not a big deal,& because this Café racer build cost me an arm & a leg I respect it a bit more than if it was a cheapo street cafe racer.

in other words I don't want to drop it.. ;D  8)
