<< Hi Ian,
My recommendation is the Continental Blitz - TKH23 110/90-18 front and TKH24
120/90-18 rear. Or you can substitute a Conti-Tour TK17 rear for several
bucks
more. Either combination is very good - excellent traction wet or dry, good
handling characteristics, and long wearing as well. Priced right too - M.A.W.
has the 23/24 for $52 front and $59 rear at present.

I also notice Bridgestone has the S-11 in the same sizes for $50 front and
$60
rear. I've never used these, so can't comment on
traction/handling/durability.

With the 120 rear you may have to move the brake anchor to the other side of
it's mounting bracket for clearance.

Cheers, Charlie

Hi Guys - I have ridden two bikes with S-11's - pretty decent
they have a hard compound in center and a softer one on the sides

Thank you Richard
