T160 tyres

Hiya, got me my first classic Brit 75 T160 Trident.

Not been running for a few years but its all go now.

It has Dunlop TT100s on it and they look old.
What tyre would be best to replace them with, its on 19 inch wheels F & R.
I like to ride a bike hardish, not cruise along so a good sticky sporty tyre I guess.
Advice would be gratefully recieved.

Would recommend Avon Roadriders
Front and Rear (both) 410-19 61H 100/90-19 57V Universal.

They work particularly well on classic bikes but are totally modern in materials and construction.

19" tires

I agree on the Avon Roadrunners. My 73 T150 is much more nimble than with the Dunlops. High-speed cornering grip is excellent. 19" options are few for the rear. I live in the mountains, so straight stretches of road are rare. The 100/90 19 M26's are a big improvement. Continental makes a bigger rear (contigo) but I haven't heard from anyone using them as to fittment problems or performance.
