Advice on tyres for Hawk AC Ace please

Post by Drinkybeer »

Hi

I'm looking for some advice please on tyres.

Can anyone recommend tyres for my Hawk AC Ace? After 24 years the ones I have are showing signs of age (!!!) and I want to replace them. Currently on them are:-
Avon radial steel tubeless
Sidewall 2 piles rayon
Tread piles 2 rayon 2 steel nylon
185 R15 93H

I've looked at Longstone Tyres and they have Avon's and various other makes at varying prices.

I only do 500-1,000 miles per year and don't race it, so don't need that sort of specialist tyres.

Any thoughts and recommendations on what to get and where to get them? Thanks in advance.

Michael
