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

i use avon roadriders ,they are very good, had them on a few bikes

BT45s always a popular choice...

Avon roadriders. Did have a rear that developed splits on the side wall but replaced foc no issues since

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.

Another vote for roadroders.

Just put Roadriders on mine.

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

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

BT45s on all mine

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!
