Avon tires for CB and XS cafe racers
June 26, 2008
The Avon Roadrider tire is a great choice for your cafe racer. These tires have a great reputation, and seem to be very affordable compared to Dunlops and Pirellis. I just bought a set of these tires for my cb550 and love them. They are much better quality then oem cafe racer tires, and they look so much cleaner and more modern thanks to the crotch rocket style tread pattern. Oh yeah did I mention that they come in all the weird sizes that these old bikes require……and that I know where to get them for the best possible price. No need to thank me, Im just doing my best to help the readers out. Get them fast and cheap at Tires Unlimited. You wont regret this purchase.

Thanks so much for the recommendation. I’m looking into getting some of these tires, and I’ve got a question for you. I’ve been looking at a tire size conversation chart and it shows the cb350 size ( 3.00×18, 3.50×18) converting to (90/90, 100/90). So my question is this. How much wider can I go with my stock rims? Would 100/90×18 for the front, and 110/90×18 for the back be to much? Would my chain guard interfere? If you could email me, any help would be much appreciated.
thanks..
p.s. there are pics of my restoration project on my site.
