Hello, I thought I saved to my CP the Car Tire threads, but I guess not. Have an '89 venture with Avon's, not happy with them. running 120/901-18 65H on front and 140/90-16 71 H on rear. Looking for a thread to best CT tire, conversion chart from MC size to CT sizes, ETC. Any help is appreciated!! Thankx, Gary C

My "what are the differences" post has kind of splintered off to talk of tires so I thought I would start a new thread about tires for gen 1 ventures. I have a 1989 VR and the existing size tires are Front 120/90-18, and Rear 140/90-16. I have searched the site and haven't found the definitive answers I've been looking for so I'll pose them here. 1. Where is the best place to buy tires (best, not necessarily the cheapest)? I'm not afraid to install the tires, and I'm not afraid of shopping online either. 2. I have decided to go with the Dunlop elite 3, but I can't find a vendor that lists the 140/90-16 online. Is there another size that firts correctly? Southwest Moto doesn't list the size tires I need in the elite 3 model. 3. From what I have read and found there isn't an Elite 3 in a 120/90-18 size for the front so what is the best option? Pirelli, Dunlop 404, or Avon (if Avon what is the correct size, and tire model name?) I am a rookie to street bikes, therefore I do not anticipate being too aggressive on the road. With this in mind, I don't need the "ultimate" performance tires, but I do want good solid tires. If possible lay this out like I'm 3 years old, and don't know diddly about purchasing a tire. Thanks for the help! Chris
