[QUOTE="Comet Rider, post: 8639, member: 36"] As has been stated before, I run Avon "RoadRiders" front and rear (19" front and 18" rear) They seem to perform extremely well on the Comet, and are still showing nice even wear characteristics:D I found the SpeedMaster front tracked groves and over banding to much, which resulted in a flighty front end, the SM rear was OK until you came to a roundabout in the wet, when it would step out at the slightest provocation:eek: Having spoken to my friendly tyre shop, he recomends either Continentals or Avons for most older bikes, but if you have either 20/21" fronts try Hidenaut (Len Mathews can correcxt me on the spelling) who make all sorts of odd sizes:D Neil [/QUOTE]
