Available tires

[Beaneater]

Hi All,

Here in the states I've only been able to run across one distributor that has Avon RoadRider MKII tires. The only 19" tires available are 100/90-19. Is that a bad size for front and rear? I have 3.6 front and 4.1 rear Dunlops on at the moment. I don't ride my Commando 750 like a wildman but I also don't want to inhibt its handling capabilities at all. Please provide your thoughts. Thanks!

Get them while you can, one UK distributor is out of stock of 100/90-19 Roadriders.

Done! Thanks very much.

I’m going back to these when my 100/90-19 Roadriders wear out. A better fit inside the front fender stays. They always worked well enough in the 80s…see my avatar.

So I know 4.10 is the width but what is the profile of those avons? Did tires back in the day all have the same profile height? Thanks

Done! Thanks very much.

Beaneater,
Where did you find those Avons?
Thanks,
Mike

400-18s are still available at Amazon & eBay, but the supply is dwindling.

Last month I received a 100/90-19 AM26 RoadRider drop shipped from Tucker-Rocky. Mfg date was March 2023. Made in UK. I understand that facility will close in December. Supply is likely to remain spotty.

4.10 is not the width 4.10", the .10 part means it is a low profile tire 4" wide, see

Just ordered a set of Michelin's Road Classic for a bike with an 18in rear wheel. However, Michelin Road Classics do not come in a 19in size for the rear tire as far as I can see. Ordered on Tuesday tracking says out for delivery today. That said I do hope the Avons come back I really liked the idea of chasing that V rating on the tire.

Hmm according to that link, 3.5 means 3.5" wide while 4.10 means 4" wide with a low profile. I wonder what a 5.5" wide tire with a low profile would be. 5.6?

A 410x19 TT100 is not 4 inches wide.

So far I’m really digging my Continental Classic Attacks. Only limitation seems to be the footpegs

Amazon has 100/90-19, 90/90-19, 3.25-19 in stock all RoadRider MKII

OK, so how wide is it?

And how wide is a 360 x 19 TT100?

 

[jseng1]

Is that on a WM2 rim? Thanks.

Stock rims yes.

A quick check on the front end of my Mk3 with OE rims shows the 410 tyre to be 3.75" at the front of the tyre. That's a 'RoadRunner' though......

Can't reach rear end at the moment :-(

Yeah possm, please educate us.

A 360x19 is 3.42", when I worked for the NZ Dunlop distributor we never said the 410 was equivalent to a 400 because it wasn't, add to this our TT100's are made in Asia and about 9-10 years ago the Japanese DOT forced Dunlop to reduce the size of the 410 series as they deemed them over size!

I would be interested to hear how you get on with the Michelins. I fitted a pair to my 920 a few years ago, 3.25x19 & 4.00x18, & the bike was too scary to ride at over 75/80 mph. It would get into a weave which I couldn't sort out with various pressure changes. I fitted a pair of Roadriders in the same sizes & normality returned.
