Tyres !

A lot, myself included, use Avon Roadriders. Perfectly capable at Bonneville levels of performance, wear well, decent price, and sort of almost British made.. .

 

Another vote for the Avons

 

I wanted radials on my Street Cup so I went with the Spirit ST. I have the Roadriders on a smaller bike that doesn't have proper rims for radials. Both took a long time to get here. Other brands are readily available but I prefer the Avons on these two particular bikes.

 

I am using the Bridgestone BT-46 for the last 5.000 km. They are very convincing in all weather conditions. Their abrasion is also very moderate. I will certainly be able to use them for another 5,000 km.
