What are the best tires for a 71 Commando 750? I have heard good things about Avon, but I don't know what model is the best for my bike. Thanks

Can you run 90/90-19s in the front?

Ok, thanks guys. I just picked up some of the smaller front, and larger rear AM 26 Avon's off of a website for $83/ tire + no tax. Locally someone was asking $115 / tire + tax, so I think I did pretty good. Can't wait to give them a try.

$83 each is close to as low as you can possibly get them.

I hope you ordered new rim strips and inner tubes...

...quick, call 'em back!

Motorcycle superstore in case anyone is interested. I am calling them now about new rim strips and inner tubes! Thanks.
