[bodgeandscarper]

what tyres is everone using, been told to use a large one at the front and smaller at the back is this normal and do you use tube type or tube less i have my own opinon but would like to hear everyone else's

[rog60]

Using tubes on split rims..............Michelin S1 or Continental Zippy 1 3.50 x 10 on both wheels.

I was using Michelin S83's but have now changed them as their load & speed rating is low. I have now fitted Schwalbe Racemans 3.50x10 front & rear

[carlos fandango]

Weathermans front and rear f@@king fantastic especially in the wet

For the seriously rich

I use racemans and love them - admittedly don't use them much in the wet - unless unplanned

And me too, fantastic grip, I used them all the way through last winter on wet greasy roads, very reassuring

As to sizes, they should either be the same front and rear or a slighly wider one on the rear NOT the other way round

No, I you're gonna mix sizes, it's larger on the rear.
My favourite is 100/90 Weatherman front and rear. Using 3.30x10 Raceman at present but I find they twitch on road lines where the Weatherman doesn't. Going to go back to Weathrman with 90/90 at the front and see how it goes.

3.50 x 10 weathermans due out soon so I'd have thought that 3.50 on the front and 100/90 on the rear would be fine.

Paul, I seem to recall a mad scramble to remove the TT in favour of Savas the minute a few specs of rain hit the visor.
