Best Modern Tyres For Classic T140

I fitted Avon Roadrunners on my low powered Suzuki Tempter ST400, I am very pleased with them, several other classic bike owners in my area also report good feedback with them.

 

I ran Roadrunners on my 1973 Yamaha TX500, they’re really good tyres and provide modern levels of grip.

 

I ran AM26 Roadrunners on my T100 for about 5 yrs - excellent all round grip and lasted well too.

 

I recommend Avon Road riders rather than the older road runners. I used to have roadrunners but the road riders are a huge improvement.

Sorry, I meant Road riders!

 

Look on the avon website. www.avontyres.com/en-gb. Not the usa site. It has all the recommended sizes and types.
I've had a 110/90/18 on my rear which was fine. Now I have a 120/90/18 but its only just narrow enough to fit. The 110 fits better tbh.
On the front I currently have a 90/90/19 but looks a bit skinny.
When I do a replacement I might go to a 100/90/19.
I started using road riders quite a few years ago (~2008 ish?) and immediately noticed the handling improved dramatically. (Wet and dry).
I had roadrunners on before.
