What size AM26 equates to the Dunlop K81 4.10 H19?

bill · Oct 25, 2011

the closest is the 100/90 although NONE of them is a 100% match and IMHO is a far better tire than the dunlop K81.

Thanks. As long as it comes in a 19" tire that will be my next upgrade. I would rather ride than wobble. I assume they good in the twisties. Thanks for your help.

Upon what seems to be a mini-concensus of the forum I have a pair to be delivered this PM. It'll be a long while 'til I can report on the performance of same as the bike is in bits at the moment and my new wheels haven't arrived. Good price at American Motorcycle Tire .

I like the 110/90 in back, but they seem to be unavailable lately...

NOT ON A STOCK WM 2 wheel. but I am not sure you would know this either. it also IS NOT the replacement size for a 410 19 K81 as the OP asked for!!!

while i love the AM26's there are some (although few) reports of them splitting under special circumstances - typically when used w/ heavy bikes. While this may not apply to the commando itself - the commando plus certain riders on this forum who have suggested their daily caloric intake exceeds daily caloric utilization (DogT?) may have to consider this :mrgreen:

Avon doesn't list the AM26 in that size on their site, so I suspect they no longer make it.

Like many others, I run the 100/90-19 AM26 front and rear on my street Commando, and find them at least as good as the 4.10 K81s I used to have, and probably better, certainly on rain grooved roads.

In the canyons I actually like the K81 better. It's a really good rain tire too, IMHO. AM26 is much better on rain grooved roads however.

I'm a big fan of the Pirelli Sport Demons. 100/90x19 F & 110/90x18 R

only , BT45 is not available in 19" rear

yes - BT45's are my favorite-great tire, but as noted not available in 19" - sadly!

In reading the specs of the AM26, it looks like they would lower the bike just a bit, compared to the K81s I will be replacing soon... is that correct?

thanks,

Don
