Bridgestone Spifires , a 110 on the front and a 120 on the rear of my
1972 Police Eldo. About 8,000 miles last year and no complaints. Riden
far and hard . Good bet for the money. The 120 rear is about as big as
is comfortable. Just clears the swing arm and may require uninflating to
install rear wheel. ( OR a GOOD GRUNT !)

i am currently running bridgestone spitfires front and rear on my ambo. they handle good ,have a good lasting tread and are not very expensive( $50 for the front,$58 for the rear from chapperels in CA) th e sizes are 110/90-18 in the front and 110/90-18 in the back, but you can run 120/90-18 for the back. hope this helps sam ' 70 ambo joe jump <jum-@hotmail.com> wrote: It's a disc brake equipped LAPD version, 29mm VHB carbs, S.N. 62979, same number on steering head sticker & engine. It has 46k miles, fully Wixomized including trunk mounted to a luggag rack, OEM dual seat. The mufflers have stamped on them "Frankfurter"! What's that all about! Anyhow it sounds mechanically tight, runs real nice, clutch works great, shifts good, and even stops! The front tire is about worn out & it seems a bit twitchy up front. The electrical has been a bit molested, but the important systems function just fine. Unfortunately, it isn't mine. I picked it up for a friend whom I am meeting at VMD. At least I get to ride it out to Mid Ohio for delivery. I don't have much time but I think I'll try to replace the front tire before I go. Looking for recommendations on size/brand/model tire to use-looking for stability, not snapy response.
