Tyres Advice

#1 Post by Jarrettvp » Fri Jul 28, 2017 2:00 pm

So I have had my wheels re-powder coated and having read some of the discussion threads on modern tyres to use, I am none the wiser.

Can anyone tell me if they have recently replaced the tyres and what you went for. I have been looking at Pirelli and Avon.

Thanks in advance of any help.

If you have 17" wheels go with Dunlop Q3s....if original rims get the Avon AM26 tires. They are really good street tires.

I have Avon AM26 on my RZ500. An excellent tire with plenty of confidence inspiring grip. They are far better than the Bridgestone BT45 they replaced.
