I've got an old one that needs replacing and I'd like to get one that's a lot more round. Any pics/advice are appreciated. This is for a 1980 SG.
Thanks

Well, we really don't need another tire thread, but pretty much any new tire will be more round than the old worn out tire would be, especially if the bike is ridden on mostly straight roads most of the time.Originally posted by rsmithsss View Post
As a matter of fact, it can take some real work to keep them from flattening out a lot as they wear, unless you get those dual compound tires with harder rubber in the middle and softer and stickier on the sides.Cy

Just stay away from Dunlop 404s and you will be ok. D404s wear like chewing gum that has already been chewed. Well, ok, maybe that's giving them too much credit cause they don't grip as well as chewed gum.Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.Comment

IF you stick with a blackwall, you can just fit a 140/16 E3 on the back! it's round, and looks nice, IMHO. I don't have a picture handy, but if you go to my web site, http://www.rjmatteis.com/motorcycle/index.html you will see a picture of my '80MNS with the 140 mounted.Ray Matteis
