Looking for tire recommendations for a 57' 19S, something that looks sort of period
Finally have the wheels back together
They have to be narrow, the previous owner(s) had something too wide on the rear and it wore away at the swing arm
 
I have had a few of SM's on my ES2, they last, grip and handle surprisingly well and look the part. My only criticism is if you get a flat tyre (tire?) they are a complete pig. The side wall is very stiff and it is like riding on a bag of jelly.
 
Thanks,
Does anyone know the correct size to use on a 57'? front and rear
 
Roy Bacon lists 3.25 x 19 front and rear, i think you need to go 3.50 on the rear due to availability.
Normally paired with a ribbed Speedmaster on the front.
 
The Dunlop K70s are still made. I bought two 3.25 x 19s for my G3 from Dennis Kirk recently. These are universal tread and same front and rear.
