    Will this tyre fit my AT?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Avon-Dista...742.m153.l1262

    It appears to say it is a 21" tyre but they list all 19" front wheel bikes?????

    Its cheap! what can I say.
    When I grow up ..... yeah right!

    Y'see, I could say "You can go fast, I can go anywhere, Africa Twin" But you buggers have 'em as well so it would sound pretty lame .... oops!

    Phone them up and ask whether it's 19" or 21" and that should settle it.

    I have Distanzia tyres on my TA they do a 21" tyre so it is possible.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Thes tyres were used by Ted Simon on his R100gs on the second RTW. They're usually not cheap, but this is a very thin tyre. Usually they're used on XT600. Dont think it's wide enough for the AT.

    Spoke to dealer about this tyre - 3.00 relates in size to a 90/90 and I am running a 1.65 front rim rather than the standard XRV 1.8 rim. Also not running standard rear rim size either.

    Have got a 3.5 rear rim so will have a 140/80 I reckon when I next need one.
