Sorry - boring boring......
I am right in thinking the correct sizes are:
Front - 100/90 - 19
Rear - 120/90 - 18
Should these be V rated? - given that my goggles blow off if I tip much over 83 mph

you can get bt45's in the correct imperial sizes of 3.25/19 and 4.00/18 just to let you know as 100/90 are a bit big and they affect the turning

I went to M&P - they're always pretty keen on pricing.
Decided to stay with OEM sizings
3.25 H19 - £63
4.00 H18 - £75
£5.99 delivery
TT100's? - look OK on classic tractors - but that's about it
