'84 RZ350 tires recommendation

#1 Post by AlexG » Sun Apr 16, 2017 6:19 pm

Hi:
I need a new set of tires. I want to keep original. Any recommended brands.
The bike currently has Metzeler, with decent thread, but they have checks/tiny cracks all around.

Thanks for your ideas.

Just don't ask which of those are best! Conti (road attack?) radials are also supposed to be primo but a bit more pricy. Everyone that has run them loves em.
