Hi
I need to replace both tyres on my C Rapide as they have hairline cracks (bike was laid up for a few years).
Standard size rims so looking at same type again.
Avon Speedmaster MkII 3.00 S20 front
Avon SM MkII 3.25/3.50 S19 rear

Did see them on Classictyres website a few years ago but was wondering if there’s any other
U.K outlets for mail order classic tyres that people here use.
Any help appreciated.

Wheel House Tyres in Coleshill, Birmingham, do telephone and on-line mail order of the tyres you want.

I have used them several times.

Same here, used them for years, the only place I buy bike tyres from. I usually take my wheels in and let them put the new tyres on as it is only about half an hour away for me, probably a bit too far away for you to visit.

Having hunted around for tyres Avon SM Mkll 3:50 x 19 and Dunlop TT100 100/90 x 18 over the last couple of years I have obtained the best price from the Bay.

They have the front but no sign of a SM MkII 19 inch.

Yes, probably would too if I was up that way. I’ve got a bead breaker and tools so hopefully not too bad a job as they’re tube type.

Thanks.
That looks like the one. Forgot they’re called AM7.
As long as it’s the same as what I have fitted which is marked:
SM MkII 3.25/3.50 S19.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll get the pair from Wheelhousetyres.
Not seeing a 20” tube for the front though. I’ll ask when I order.
