[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 55243, member: 60"] Hells teeth! never standard Vincent tyres on a Egli much as I like them on the real thing. we ran 18" AM23 race tyres of course, Had problem at rear with a smigin bigger than 3.50 (sorry Ben is not around to tell me what we fitted) but it almost kissed the chain and of course we were in "up to 72" class so no funny jobs with frames and sprockets. Guess slightly bigger would be most you need for 100 bhp in that sort of motor/frame we certainly had acceptable race tyre wear think it lasted 12 hard race days and if it dident have that stupid "race tyre" panel I would happily used it for many more months on a road twin.
