I am a fan of Avon tires.....good wear, great stick.
I use 110/90 on front and 120/90 on the rear...

I don't flame anyone and appreciate all inputs (even if others don't). I
used to run Cheng Shin's back in the '70's on it. I worked for the
original
 importer of them and then later sold them in my shop. I'm sure they have
changed a lot since. Then, they lasted a really long time but I found the
grip lacking and in wet weather they were downright scary... Are they
any
 better now?

 At the risk of getting flamed.....I run the Cheng Shin replica of the
Dunlop
 K70. It was popular in the 70's when I first started riding Guzzi's and
comes in the 4.00X18 size. JC Whitney sells them for around $45 apiece.
They
 are 6-ply and very tough. I ride my Ambo everywhere, and have never had
a
 
 problem. I live in Las Vegas, and they hold up to the desert heat very
well.
 I always liked them because they work well in the dirt, like in graded
roads. Actually, they were used for flat track racing in the 70's.
Besides
 
 all that, I like the period look.
