Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted July 18, 2011 Just got the BSA moted and got a advisory on the tyres showing ageing on the wall , and they are right they are cracked, So what would you go for ? at the mo. there is a Avon 3.50-18 on the rear and a Dunlop 3.25 -18 on the front, I want to keep the tyres inkeeping with the bike Thought this would be right up your street m8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
