R65 tyres

[Hut van]

Hi guys I'm new to the airhead game and about half through rebuilding my 1989 R 65. Anyway I am getting close to fitting the wheels back on ,what make of tyres should I buy? Is there any preffered choice.while I'm here does anyone have a spare front axle without any pitting on the chrome that I could purchase.

Pretty sure I must have a spare front axle knocking about somewhere, I'll have a look tomorrow. In fact I have a complete front end for an R65 and numerous other spares so let me know if there is anything else you need. I have everything apart from the engine.

When i had an R65 , i went with Michelin , 100/90-18 front
120/90-18 rear.
I just like michelin tyres. probably a throwback to commercial vehicle ownership , where
Pence per mile , the Michelin XZ,s were the cheapest tyre on the market to operate with.

Crapnaud if your front axle still has good chrome I would be interested,my one is pitted at the end. I will bear in mind your other parts if required cheers
