Tyres for 120 Jota

[stephen120]

Hi all
What are the best tyres to fit my 1982 120 Jota.
Still on original tyres and has been standing since 1983 so are a bit hard.

New, preferably round ones..
On a more serious note if you do a search you will find multiple discussions on owners different preferences for replacement tyres. Generally all modern tyres will be better than your old ones.

There are a huge number of tyre threads, as you can see here...

Google Search

But to cut to the chase, BT46 will set you right, or so close to perfect as not to really matter.

Sounds like a plan to me. Asked K.N. If he would set bike up but he insisted on new tyres, he must have a will to live. l

Avon Road Riders 2 are also an option - i like them on my 180

If you want the best IMHO, go for a set of Conti Radials, outstanding. I also hear that Michelin are bringing out some new classic based tyres but they are still old school X-ply's.
