    F702F35F-2F57-4696-83A7-5B4AA500F01F.jpeg I have a ‘61 5TA and have seen a few bikes at Stafford last weekend with modern tyres on, what’s your thoughts and any recommendations on what to fit

    Hi Phil, i fit Dunlop K70's on all my old classic bikes as they are made with modern rubber tech and far exceed any of my bikes. Very similar to the tyres fitted to your bike but much better.

    Phil Mills.
    I use the Avon's. Seem to suit the Bonnie's.
    Regards
    Joe.

    No, even if you sealed the spokes the rims are not designed to take a tubeless tyre.

    Try Avon Roadriders they will transform the handling.
