Avon AM26 Tires (Tyres)

[Rusty Spokes]

Anyone have any experience with these? I've been running BT45s and the rear tire is good for about 6000 miles. The front tire is a 100/90x18 and looks like an old 3.50x18 on the rim. Measures out about the same too.
The rear BT45 is a 110/90 and fits like an old 4.25, being 4.3 inches wide.

AM26's are a bit larger for the size represented.

The BT45 in a 100/90 measures 3.9 inches wide and a diameter of 25.1, a little smaller than an old 4.00x18
AM26 in 100/90 measures 4.3 and 25.3, close to a 4.25x18


I used to run 4.25x18 TT100s front and rear with very good stability, most of the time. Don't like the way TT100's behave on grooved surfaces. Bridges and rain grooves make the tires track badly.

BT45s run and feel good. The front just dose not fill the fender very well.

Would like some others experience as I experiment.

I don't know what bike this is for, but on my '79 Jota I have found that a 110/80 front with a 120/90 rear suits me very well.  I use Pirellis, though.  I always felt a 100/90 front didn't give me confidence, but the 110/80 made a big difference for me.
