TYRE'S - What you other Thunderbird owners running on

Whats your recommendations for tyre's on a 1600 thunderbird ?
I personally rate Avon's but they don't do a front tyre in the Thunderbird size !!
( rear - 200/50/17 front - 120/70/19 )

 

That was my thought Gary, But having found an Avon tyre on ebay at an excellent price I enquired to see
if he could supply or locate a front tyre to match, His reply was Avon dont make one in that size went on to say
the only ones were Metzeler and Bridgestone, Just how far his info was correct, I dont know.

 

Well info received was not correct as such Avon do a 120/70-19 60W ZR Avon Cobra AV71
But point made by seller stated it did not match his rear exactly , and it was out of stock at this time,

 

EMAILED AVON GOT THIS REPLY WITHIN AN HOUR FIRST CLASS SERVICE I MUST SAY

Hi,

We don't currently produce a 120/70ZR19 in our sport touring range, but we are launching a new range in May which will have this size present.

Our current recommended fitment for your bike is-

120/70ZR19 Cobra
200/50ZR17 Storm 3D XM
Or
200/55R17 Cobra.

I hope this helps.
