  • New tires for my VL

    It's about time to put new tires on my 34VLD. I'm not happy with the Coker tires that I have been using. I would like to mount modern manufacture tires as I put a LOT of miles on the old bike.
    Has anyone had any experience using Dunlop tires on a VL? Dunlop's catalog lists a K81/TT100 in size 4.10H19 (Part# 4206-54) which appears to have a nice thred pattern. Any insight on Dunlops or other brands would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Ollie

    OLLIE....

    I have a 1928 J Model HD. It has VL rims laced to the hubs.
    I mounted AVON 400 x 19 65S tires. They fit well and have
    a period look to the tread.

    I can't say how well they hold up, because it won't be on the road till spring 2007

        Chuck: I'm going with the Avons. Not that I need speed rated tires for my VL, but unlike the Cokers, they should at least be round when inflated..... Ollie.
