Hello !!

I'am just currious on what kind of tyres people have mounted on their Africa Twins

Iam now using Avon Distanzia Tyres on my RD04

Avon Motorcycletyres



So, what kind of tyres do you have on you're Africa Twin

[africatijn]

Ah, do a search on tyres, you will find lots and lots of info and experiences.

I'm currently on BT45's. Not doing any offroading.

Handling of my bike is very crap right now, need to replace my headbearings, so cannot say much about the handling with the BT45's.

Hi! ... wel i've searched a lot about motorcycle tyres

But iam doing a 50/50 on-road and off-the road ... so a good tyre must handle the best of both worlds if you get what i mean

And the Avons are good for how i use the Africa Twin

I have the Avons too on my RD07 and really like them a lot, not sure calling it a 50/50 tyre though: The "blocks" seem far to big and not "open" enough to be a proper off-roader. Must admit I haven't really tried it, although it is sometimes easy to forget the A38 and neigbouring routes through the Cotswold hills are officially "paved roads"

from what i hear TKC 80's are about the best mix of road and off-road tyre. Its what i'll get when i need to change.
