    What tyres are you using on your roadsters?

    Looking around eBay etc for suitable tyres and for roadsters I came across these.

    Motorcycle Products do a rear 325 x 18 Heidenau (ref SKU 020501) for ?70.73 and front 275 x 19 (ref SKU 020486) for ?51.34 both with same block tread pattern deliver charge ?7.20
    M & P Swansea do a rear 325 x 18 Metzeler ME22 for ?55.99 and a front 275 x 19 Anlas NR-14 (block tread) for ?37.99 free delivery
    Laxo London do a rear 325 x18 Kenda K265 for ?48.79 and a ribbed 300 x 19 Kenda K204 front for ?48.79 free delivery. No 275 x 19 listed but a 300 x 19 will fit as I currently have a 300 x 19 Avon Speedmaster fitted.

    I have used the Heidenau tyres on my Yamaha Townmate and they give good handling and wear well. Generally I have found the cheaper brands tend to wear out more quickly. I have dealt with Motorcycle Products before and have always had good prompt service.

    Note ? = GB Pounds, this stupid web site still does not recognise the pound sign!

        Don't put decent rear tyre with a cheapo front- you can catch a rear wheel slide but a front one is much harder to deal with- A couple of years ago I slid down a french main road with my foot caught up with my BM, fortunatly with no damage. I had just replaced the rear tyre..... Peter.

          I have fitted two new tyres today to my East Coaster, in the end I went for a matching pair of Heidenau K34 tyres 2.75 x 19 front and 3.25 x 18 rear. bought them from Motor Cycle Products a well recommended company, ordered them on Sunday night and received them today by UPS.
