    I agree! A bike will always outperform me.
    At 65 it is getting to be more evident.
    With the tire question,I am trying to get best bang for buck in longevity and comfort based on my riding style and roadways.

    Excellent points!
    I find the different dealers,of course, have different recommendations.
    I posted on this forum to see if there is a some agreement on tires based on tge Bonneville platform.The replies have been very helpful .
    Thank you!

    Yes good topic. Myself i still opt for Avon's it was always the tyre for the old Bonnie's. Maybe just me.

    Not just you!
    .I see Avons come up quite often in speaking with different riders.

    I replaced the death trap Dunlop Phantoms on my 2020 T120 with Metzeler Roadtec 01. Couldn't be happier with the difference. Great wet road tires and great wear. Also available in BC, so probably same elsewhere.

    Ratings look good,but...
    It buggers me up when they label a tire TL (tubeless).Did you have to seal/tape the inner rim?Did it seat properly on your tubed rim ( sometimes an issue with the bead)
