I use Avons
Roadrider, 3.25 X 19 front
4.00 X 18 rear,
they grip well,run at 27 psi front,33 psi rear,
great dry and wet grip,
will last about 4,500 miles on the rear,maybe double on the front,

Thanks
Probably a stupid question but i note the Roadrider is shown as a tubeless tyre do you have to fit tubes anyway on the honda rims

Yes, and if you use tubeless tyres with a tube, it reduces the speed rating. Therefore a V rated tyre becomes H rated, but that is not an issue with our bikes due to the fact H rated is more than adequate for the speeds they are capable of.
