Thank you. They're the sizes I'm considering for my Kirkham. I have GY Billboards on it at the moment and they look the business, but they tramline badly, which does impact on the enjoyment, especially if " she who must be obeyed" is with me because she is constantly twitching and flinching as the car moves around.

While not inexpensive, the Avons are worth every penny. You get what you pay for.....that is why the BFG T/As are cheaper!

I have to agree on the avons. I really like the gold on your FIAs. Did you paint or powder coat them?

Painted them. Now that I know I like them so much, next time around (because paint will chip/wear off) I will powder coat them.
Thanks'

Paul,
Back in about 2001 I put the first set of GY BB's on my car. The wandering and darting sometimes made Peggy and I look like a couple of bobble heads.  I was kinda embarrassed by the handling when she was with me.
In the beginning I started with tire pressure in the 22-24 pound range on the street. After a few months I experimented with gradually raising the pressure until I found my comfort point. For street driving I have them at 32 psi front, 30 psi rear. What a difference in handling! I didn't see any irregular tread wear in about 5,000 miles.
I am on my second set of GY BB's. By year 5 of ownership of the first set, there was very obvious sidewall cracking, and people were finger pointing. The tread depth was still very good, but I had to toss them because of the sidewall issue.
This second set isn't a year old yet and the first signs of the cracking are just barely becoming noticeable. When its time to toss these, I'll buy the Avons.
