New tires for a Le Mans 3 recommendations?

[sdcr]

   I've used the Pirelli sport demons and a Bridgestone spitfire 11r, all with tubes on this bike. I'm staying with tubes, and considering the Michelin pilot actives, since they are a bias ply tire.

   My stock sizes are front- 100/90x18 and the rear is a 110/90x18.


    Looking for good stick, decent mileage.


    Any one have pro and con opinions on the pilot actives, or recommendations for other brands?

The last 2 sets I burned up on my LM3 before the crash was Avon Venoms, 100 on front and a 130 on rear, nice & sticky, great feel.

So I can fit a 130 on the stock rims.

I like the Pilot Activ tires.

Good feel, good grip, good wear.

I just installed these as the second set on my newly finished LMIV project. Good tires, good traction, good wet, and wear like iron.

That's what I used, replace rear frame/tailpiece pivot bolts w/buttonhead on inside & locknut on outside. Otherwise you will contact nuts on the sidewall. I have a swingarm now that accepts a newer Centauro rim.
