I've got a 2.75-21 Avon Speedmaster that's pretty worn...It's amazing how much smaller it is than a 3.00-21. I want to get a good one to use on my BSA...let us know if you find a source.

Is that going on one of those five spokes with no brakes?

Be careful with used and/or NOS tires! I ran a gennie Goodyear dual-stripe on my Pan for six months or so. Was in decent shape when I mounted it, but it always seemed hard and it was prone to skidding. Pulled it off to see that the wire bead had come uncased from the rubber and the tire was ready to dislodge!

Check for excess cracks and overly hard compound.

I had that happen to me on a supposedly "new" avon.

Thanks for checking.....I really want something smaller, and will probably stay with a 19 if I can't find what I'm looking for. I'd say go ahead and check out the tire he has....gotta be worth ten bucks to somebody, but old rubber is not the best idea for a bike ridden the way I like to ride!!!....thanks again

Hey, Triumph Terror, what do those 18" tires look like, as far as tread pattern goes?
