19" dirt track, flat track tires. Get the harder compound #5's. get the 270 70 19" it's the narrower tire. will go on WM3 or narrower rim.

Dave,

You could always get rid of the rings on these Metzellers and test for us the roadholding in the rain ; - )

... This is turning into these dreaded "what oil should I use?"...

Hello all. 'Coker Tire' www.cokertire.com have a huge selection of vintage and classic motorcycle tyres. If they haven't got something to suit, you probably won't find it. Cheers Hayley.

Has anyone used the LANGE tires on a K or Sportster? Nice looking tires! I have a set on my 1955 Harley Hummer, but I don't go very fast (or very far) on that. I will be riding the 1954 KH fast and far, so I'm looking for handling and dependability. I bought this pair about 10 years ago, but I don't know if they are still available.

P.S. I was hoping the Hummer would grow up to be a K-model, but it seems like it's fully-grown already.
