What size you got now? 3.25-19 front, 4.00-18 rear?
What's your budget?

What do you mean by "matching front/rear"?Originally posted by blackhallr View Post
There are lots of tire manufacturers that make tires appropriate for your bike. Sorry, but I'm not understanding the problem.Ed

match
i like to have a matching pair of tires on my bikes regardless of make ie avon/bridgestone/conti at the moment the bike i have imported from usa has bridgestone spitfires on 110/80/19 front 120/90/18 rear and the rear is worn as i dont know how long the front has stood and spitfires are not available in uk i also want to renew but cant find one make the does both sizes in same type streetsmart/roadsmart/ etcComment

Yes, lots of choices in those sizes. I had conti blitzs on mine but way too expensive,so I opted for shinkos- tread pattern was eerily similar. It just comes down to how much you want to spend.1981 gs650L

Avon RoadRiders are a popular choice and should be available in the sizes you require.Comment

Avon Roadrider are the forum favorite. 100/90 front and 120/90 rear. That 110 front is questionable because the front rim is quite narrow.Ed

One tidbit -- you'll often find the Avon 100/90-19 listed under rear tires/tyres because it is designed to be used on either the front or rear. There's an arrow on the sidewall telling you to mount it spinning one way if on the front, the other way on the rear.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

V-rated tires are better than H-rated (for the most part). I'd get the V's when you have a choice between the two.Ed
