Tyres are a personal thing and personally Metzlers are the ones for me

Latest tyres are continental road attacks all the classic endurance rounds last year were won on them.

Avon road riders seem good to me. Except I know of a few where cracks have appeared in the side wall.

Brand new pair of BT45s on my Z1R , they've been brand new for a while now
May as well have bought Cheng Shin for it as i never ride it

I and most of the members of our classic racing club use the BT45 and I've never heard a word against them.

BT45s best thing fitted to mine great grip in wet and dry went to north west 200 couple of years ago and it pissed down all weekend so gave them a good test around the irish country roads and they were very confidence building. Left a few more modern machines way behind :-) mind you that might have been the Guinness.

crikey - I still have original set of red arrows on my h2b put on around 1984, they actually have turned to iron and have not got any cracks in them
so this year I plan to recomission the bike - do they still make red arrows ?
