Hi Folks,
Seems like it is time for a new pair of tires (first time swapping the tires)!
- I really do like the vintage look of either Dunlop K70 or Bridgestone L303 3.50-18; these are tube type, which is ok, but yet another part.
- There is the advantage that the front wheel diameter would be close to 19" wheel on G5/B5 improving handling on a C5.
- Can I put a 4.00-18 on the rear? Seems like this might probably improve the road handling but might have problem in fitment; wanted to confirm this from you guys. Mileage might also reduce a bit.
Going with the modern type tires,
Front tire - Bridgestone Battleax BT-45 90/90-18
Rear tire - Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 110/90-18
Of course these are tubeless type which is good. I have read a lot of folks here having good review about these tires.
Which one would you guys go with, again I am leaning towards vintage look; Dunlop K70 seems not to last for long...So wanted give a try to Bridgestone L303.
Any suggestions either on vintage or modern tires?
Thanks.
