It's been a while... tyre question

[3Katz]

It's been a long while since I've been on R3owners, for no other reason that I've been playing Mustangs and Barras and they've taken up most of my spare time. Love the new look btw! So after a long stint of being barely ridden it's time to give the 06 Classic a bit of a birthday, swingarm out, drive shaft greased both ends, all fluids to change, brake pads, fork seals, Nevs cams are on order and a new 1-3 cat delete being made to replace the Staintune item. And a replacement OEM headlight if anyone has one spare... My question may relate more to the Aussie guys and its to do with tyres. Not surprisingly the pandemic has affected tyre supply as well and apparently I was lucky the Exedra Max rear was still available. However the Dunlop Elite which I really liked is not available. I've heard great things about the Cobra Chrome of course and am still chasing up whether I can source one in the stock size but what other options have you guys found in the stock size to work well with the EM rear? Aussie guys have any other go-to's in plentiful supply?

Good luck finding Avon’s took me about 8 weeks to get some for my mates Thunderbird

Bloody hell.... thanks for the heads up. Hopefully there have been some new options come out in the last couple years. I have mates that ride Harley's but they just throw on the cheapest thing they can find at the time. The Rockets handle so well for their size - I really liked the Dunlop Elite it never once gave me any reason to doubt it. Hoping to find something just as good.
