My project Kr1000 No1 will be running a rear Dymag with a 4.00" Rim @ 18 Dia and the front 2.75" Rim @ 18" diameter. The bikes originally ran Dunlop tyres but as this bike is going on the road initially I need whatever is the best for 'stickiness' (not bothered about wear rate). I realise the tyre choice is limited, probably to sport/touring type tyres but does anyone have any recommendations as to what is the best tyre? Also for the rear I think a 150 tyre is bang on correct and a 160 from what I have Googled is for 4.00/4.50/5.00" rims - anyone run a 160 on a 4.00" rim and is it too over profiled?
All of the classic endurance guy's use Conti sport attack , my mate who is building a Jota has just taken delivery of a set , they are nice and soft and pass the thumb nail test
It looks like they don't do Sport Attack in 18", but I found Road Attack 'Classic Race' tyres on the website in the right size so looks like these for me - thanks again for the lead!
The NC30 lads all talk about BT090 and BT092. Not sure if they are good or not though. I'm a big fac of Conti road attack so if I could get them in 18" I'd buy them.
That's another option and a lot cheaper (£150 Vs £90 for a rear having a quick Google) but only H rated, but just re checked and the Road Attack Classic Race at 150 profile 18" is only H too, where the 130 profile 18" section and all the other sizes appear to be V rated - seems strange...
