Hey guys,

Does anyone know what size these tires are and where to get them? The rims are 19 in front and 18 in back. Standard for alot of the R's. I have the same rims, But i want these tires. Not sure where I found this pick so i cant ask the owner if he went 120 or 130 on the back, or if thats too dangerous or any of that information. I think the stock is 110-120. Or at least i have 116 at the back.
Anyone have any knowledge or opinions on them? Would be great help. ;):rolleyes:

Well they are Avons.....but I am guessing you knew that.

They look like roadriders to me, which Avon sells specifically for the R100 in non metric sizes (3.25-19 front and 4.00-18 rear).

FWIW I have Avons on my brothers 1979 cb750F (that used to be mine) and they are excellent tires. Never had a complaint and the size and weight of the bike is about the same as your beemer.
