Hi Steve,
My personal favorite has been the Continental TKH23 "Blitz" 110/90-18
front and the Continental TK17 "Tour" 120/90-18 rear. Both last
12-14,000 miles (YMMV), stick and handle well wet or dry and had been
reasonably priced. Haven't checked lately, but they used to be about $60
f/$68 r. Tires Unlimited (http://www.tiresunlimited.com) and/or Tire
Express (http://www.tireexpress.com) usually have the best deals.
On my '72 I've tried Bridgestone Spitfire S11 in the same sizes. Haven't
ridden on them yet, so no feedback there. Priced right - about the same
as the Contis. Chaparral (http://www.chaparral-racing.com) usually has
good prices on these. Cheers,
