I am thinking of changing the old Cross-ply tyres on my K1 to radials, but I am concerned about the tyre radius (EG overall tyre circumference ). All the radials I have looked at are a smaller overall diameter. Any comments ??? What do you use ? Ron
My concerns too, Ron. I can’t seem to find any radial which is a straight diameter equivalent to the x-plies l ditched 5 yrs ago. The 16″ radials l ended up buying give superb grip, but my Special looks woefully ‘undertyred’. Is the large outlay for Longstone/Blockley therefore the only answer? Tim
I’d love to see some pictures of tyres which “look wrong” and then some that look right. I’m curious how bad, bad tyres look. I don’t want to fork out hundreds of pounds for my new tyres then decide they’re not right.
I’m guessing radials are a given…? Or is that a rather contentious statement?
