I feel safe with Bt45´s gettting me knee down without fear on track days.

You sure are putting those tires to good use

I love cutting up curvy roads but I'm with Kappahulu on this one, I don't recover quickly anymore.

The tires got here in less then 48 hours, I ordered them Sunday.
The dates on them are Front 2915 Rear 3915

They are the only set that are made exactly for my rims.
3.25-19 front and 4.00-18 rear.

+ 1 for Avon Roadriders. They're affordable, quality tires. Some guys tell me they are better for cornering than Bridgestone BT45's. I don't know, I'm not interested in grinding footpegs anymore. That's because I don't want to fall, especially on a 40+ year old bike using a 50+ year old body.

BT45's are great tires as well and they're affordable.

Keep an eye on your tires if you have Roadriders, I believe they are a good tire, but they did have a bad batch that cracked and came apart, a few on the Vintage Triumph forum had problems and got them replaced, although Avon were rather unhelpful, so just give them a once over regularly to be safe, just in case you were unlucky and got the problem ones..

Good to know, I was debating whether not to change them before vacation now I think I'll wait.
I still have some tread left and no cracking issues with 10,000 miles on them.
I didn't want to break in new tires out there anyway.
These new ones are really fresh tires so I hope they got the problem fixed
