72 CB450 tires

[wtskm]

I've done some poking around other threads na dkind of have an idea what tires I want to get.
I'm interested in an update from other CB450 owners on their tire experiences and what they're running on right now.

I have stock size wheels, stock would nice but beefire would be better without sacrificing handling/performance.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

A good start. mine are not mounted yet, and off the top of my head think they are spitfires 18 110 and 19 90 ? there are a few different possibilities.

Whipped through there already what a great site.

I'm thinking of try a 120 on the rear, also wondering brand wise the dif between Dunlops, Avons, Metzler ??????

I'm going with Avon's AM26 Road Rider, on my 450 project, 100/90/19 front & 110/90/18 rear. I haven't bought them yet so I'm really not much help but I've seen them on several other bikes. I'm not really sure if you can go wrong with Dunlop, Avon or Metzlers they all make quality tires and I think it really comes down to personal preference.

Thanks for your reply

I was going to go with Metzler but for the price point Avons seem to be winning.
I might do a 120 for the rear tire though.

I love my AM26 Road Riders, they are fantastic...
