tyre types
Ah the good old Dunlop Universal !
Yep ,a good tyre for low powered bikes on all surfaces .
I put some Kenda tyres on my Yamaha because a friend sells them cheaply .
They perform great on gravel roads and tarmac .
I wear the rear Avon AM18 [19"] super stickys away very fast on my Norton Commando ,so I thought what the heck ,I'll try a Kenda , surprised me that it performed very well -instead of falling effortlessly into corners the bike now has to be pushed down into the corner [ I'm not a natural countersteerer] but all in all very good for a tyre 1/3 the price of an Avon and with a much longer life expectancy .
I imagine that the more expensive Annakees and Tourances would be even better so maybe they are the new Dunlop Universals ?
ps I'm glad that you didn't mention the Avon Skidmaster tyres - or was that Speedmaster ? I've several memories of sliding down the road on my arse thanks to them .
