Tyre choice, advice sought.
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 9:14 pm
After much deliberation I decided that I wanted to kit my G15cs out with some trail tyres to suit the style and image of the desert racer. Having actually chosen and ordered a suitable pair I then discovered that my rear wheel is actually 19" not the 18" I thought it was - doh!
So with no 19" rear available in a trail type i've had to have a rethink. Having the 19" rear really narrows the choices down.
I'm thinking of ordering some Dunlop K81 TT100's tomorrow. Well I am going to the TT on the bike!
Will a 19 x 3.60 front and 19 x 4.10 be ok size wise? very slightly wider than std.
I think the std sizes are 3.50 front, 4.00 rear but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Or perhaps suggest better alternatives. I can't really explain why but I don't like the Avon ribbed front so am trying to avoid that.
