Need to find new rubber

Post by Zombie Master »

1984 R100

So I can't get the Bridgestone S11's I've enjoyed for many years. What would be a good replacement. I don't need super long wear, so it would be nice to get more grip. Any suggestions? :ugeek:

Love my Michelin Pilot Actifs! Available in the 'inch' sizes. I'm on my third set. 8K miles would be more than you should expect from the rear.

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

I'd say you got your money's worth out of that tire.

I have been very happy with Avon Road rider V rated tires. Great all around performance and ride both wet and dry.
