hi all -
the kz900a4 needs new rubber. I'm definitely not a peg-scratcher wheelie-boy or wheelspinner (too old for all that jazz), so in your opinion, what do you think would be the best (retro-style?) tyres to suit 'Sunday afternoon rides' ?
thanks

Re: z900a4 - tyres

Re: z900a4 - tyres
BT45s always a popular choice...
Re: z900a4 - tyres
Avon roadriders. Did have a rear that developed splits on the side wall but replaced foc no issues since
Re: z900a4 - tyres
If you're after the full 70's experiance you can now buy copies of the original period TT100's,which are now made with modern Rubber. A H1 I used to own came with them and they performed fine although I didnt push them 'that' hard.

Re: z900a4 - tyres
thanks chaps - I've just looked at the Avon Roadrider AM26 - about £150 a pair. TT100 K81s weigh in at around £185 a pair.
Always had TT100s 'back in the day', until the Pirelli Phantom made an appearance - wow! what a revelation they were!
Might go with the Roadriders - i've got them fitted to the zephyr 750 (Battlax BT020s on the 1100) and they handle very nicely (well, in the dry, anyway).
thanks for the replies

Re: z900a4 - tyres
New BT45s on my Z900 - TT100s look like motocross tyres nowadays......

BT45s on all mine
Re: z900a4 - tyres
tyres, tubes, rim tape all arrived today - hope we've still got some nice dry days ahead to scrub em in and see what they're like. Maybe it'll be 70's Pirelli Phantoms revisited ? haha!
