Thats a nice bike

What about the bridgestone TW24 which has the block tread  and will a 4.00 x 18 fit into a 175mx swinfing arm.

Yeh johnny, should clear, :yeah: the biggest make [ still 4.00x18] is Perelli MT43 ,  Its real tall ,, I had a Maxis , but too soft a compound. it squirmed under exceleration

Still having trouble sourcing tyres for this bike i.e Heidenau 400 x 18 and the front tyre 2.75 x 21 which model tyre is it of this make and who has them ?.

If not what are bridgestone trailwings in the block pattern like.

Many thanks for any help.
