KH250 Tyres

Themogues · Post by **Themogues** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:22 pm

I'm trying to get my mongrel ebay special back on the road.
(1975 S3A Frame and 1978 KH250 engine )
It currently has an Avon roadrunner 90/90 H18 on the front (fairly good tread, but sidewalls cracked) The rear is a more modern looking IRC NR34 100/90 18 (looks in good nick,but I want to match the tyres)
I'm keeping the wire spoked wheels,so pressume I have to run tubed tyres?
Has anyone got any thoughts on which tyres to fit?
I've seen Dunlop K82's (325 x 18 and 350 x18 ) on C Wyldes website. Also on the same website Maxxis (90/90 and 100/90 x18)

Sorry for the long question... I'm sure I'll have more soon!!

Neil

Avon Roadriders are good modern tyres in good old sizes. just put some on the H2.

I did look at the Avon roadriders, but was told they are tubeless. Could these be fitted to standard wheels? Someone told me you can't put tubes in tubeless tyres?

are tubeless tyres still ribbed? the ones i've had fitted recently havent been. i think that was the reason to not fit as they chafed

i've got a 400 motor for sale

Many Tyre places will offer to tube your tubeless tyre without qualms.
