Looking for tyres for a Jubilee. What would be the best tyres for wet weather riding and cornering.

Thanks

Hello John

I ride old bikes all the year having no other transport and swear by Avon road riders AM26. I have bought a 90/90 18 for the rer of the Navigator which has a BSA front wheel--I bought an Avon Speedmaster 3.00/19 for the front. Does a jubilee have an 18 front wheel?

Hope this helps

At 50mph, tyre choice isnât critical in my opinion! Iâve fitted Mitas tyres, all good so far!

Hello Dan

I have never heard of them--tell me more,

I will leave Dan to tell you more but Wyldes of Leeds stocked Mitas when I lived in Yorkshire (almost ten years ago). They were a budget tyre but perfectly suitable for the sort of use any old classic was likely to receive.

Bought some Metzeler ME22 tyres for my 250. Cheap and good. about 30 quid on E-bay , Good enough for 90mph at Jurby on Sunday in the rain and wind.
