"I am also pretty sure If I approached the tyre company TVS own then we would have had tyres by now - how good they would be is debatable."

Just curious, maybe I missed it, have you asked any tire maker if they'd produce a suitable dedicated 19" rear with all the tread depth?

I’ve gone back to 19” wheels, I’ll probably regret it for tyre life but the 4.00 x 18 rear tyres on a Commando look too “Chopperish” and are heavy.
I’ve fitted some 4.10 x 19 TT100s, the tread depth is 6.7mm.

6.7mm? Interesting. That’s over half way between an Avon universal and a dedicated rear. As a percentage of usable tread, that’s actually quite a lot more

Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go cruise the strip on my chopper maaan !

No, as we relied on the dates we were given by Goodyear which we now know were just pie in the sky dates, even now I don't believe them.
