:lol: fully paid up !! Mate, there was *nothing* stickier back in the early 80's than a set of 'Silver Dot' Phantoms..........I could chew through a set in under 3k, about 6-8 weeks :shock: they were the ducks guts back then.

I will admit to running them too! :oops: At the time, we all thought they were the ducks but! Then we moved on to Avons! Then when tyres really got good we had Metzler ME33's! :lol: ANd they were the ducks! Sorta :wink:

You mean Metzeler Lazer ME33's like the ones still on the Pearl ?? :lol: They are the ducks guts, funny thing with the ME33's, the pattern has not changed one iota since mid 80's, not sure about compound ? But these are really the only tyre to use on old dungers (anything with a 19" front wheel anyway :oops: ), unless you can find some new K591 Dunlops :twisted:

Huh ? These are still available *brand new* mate, the front one on the Pearl is only 18 months old, and still got at least another 2 years to go ... :lol:

All the BMW mob use ME33's for their boxer twins, its the only real choice if you want anything that *remotely* resembles a sticky tyre in 19"...

The front looks like an old Avon Roadrunner, can't remember the specific tyre number............the back one looks like a Continental Super-Tourer??
