Hi Bob, Yes, I change my own tires the "old fashioned" way. Long tire irons, rims protectors, tire mounting lube, sweat and cussing! It can be difficult depending on how stiff the carcass is of the tires coming off and going on (Dunlops and Avons seem the most difficult, the Contis much easier). I always replace tubes just as a precaution. As Ken's post proves, "your mileage may vary." :-) Cheers,
Charlie

Charlie, Do you change your own tires? Difficult? Do you always replace inner |
tubes

Hi Jim, My personal preference is Continental's "Blitz" TKH23 110/90-18 front |
|
and
| | TKH24 120/90-18 rear. When it's tire time and I can't get the TKH24, I |
|
use
| | the Conti-Tour TK17 120/90-18 rear. Either way you get great tires for |
|
a
| | reasonable price. Last I checked Tire Express www.tireexpress.com had |
them
| for $52 front and $59 rear (or the TK17 for $63). My experience with |
|
the
| | Contis (and Tire Express - I've never gotten a tire more than a year |
|
old)
| is
| very positive. The Blitz fronts last for 12,000 miles and the rears |
10,000,
| the TK17 has been on my '69 Ambo for 9,000 miles now and looks about |
|
half
| | worn. I'm not an agressive rider, but I also don't baby the old beast. |
They
| work equally well in the dry or wet, have very predictable handling characteristics and fill out the fat fenders well. If they had more of |
|
a
| | retro look they would perfect to me. The only other tires I have any experience with is the Dunlop F11 |
|
front
| and
| 491 Elite II in the same sizes. We used this combo on my friend Dan's |
|
Eldo
| | and so far, so good. No info. on longevity yet - he hasn't put enough |
miles
| on them for that. However, they seem to be at least as good in all |
|
other
| | areas. Happy shopping, let us know how whatever you choose works out! Cheers,

I'm getting my old '67 V7 going again and now it's time to look into tires... It's got 4.00x18's on it and I'm sure the technology and |
|
|
the
| | | players in the marketplace have change in the 15 years since I last |
|
bought
| | Motorcycle tires... Any suggestions as to make/model/size to get? |
|
|
Also
| | are
| there any good online places to get them?
Thanks... Jim
