    Tyres?

    well if you have a 18" rim on the front there is no way you will get a 17" tyre on it, i think the google lot have made a mistake, try looking at tyre company websites to see th recommended tyres merv

    Tyres?

    Right just looked on Dunlop website they recommend a 325/18 K82 front and 350/18 k82 rear on all Jawa 350.s so these are the sizes you are looking at , the k82 is not a bad tyre maybe not a cheap as the ones you see but i dont like cheng shin/golden etc after a bad experience that could have cost my son his life he slid on his FS1e on a damp road and nerly went under a landy disco, we fitted michelin tyres to that after and you could brake without it locking up and it held the road in the wet wheeas before it was like riding on ice when it was wet.I have been told Cougar are resonalbe tyres but will never venture to try i stick with pirelli /avon/ bridgestone/continental 4 bikes on road 4 different makes of tyre!!! i have used K82,s on the Rd250 i used to have and they were fine on that. ultimately the best you could fit i reckon are Bridgestone BT45 but they will set ya back a good £130 for the pair . but vintage tyres do the k 82,s for £46.50 +vat for 325/18 and £49+vat for 350/18 wit free delivery

With a team of only 4 main riders and a back-up crew of 2, we will be travelling on the following route: Leg 1 - 8th - BARNSTAPLE - EXETER (Via Lands End) Leg 2 - 9th - EXETER - FOLKESTONE Leg 3 - 10th - FOLKESTONE - SOUTHEND ON SEA Leg 4 - 11th - SOUTHEND ON SEA - GRIMSBY Leg 5 - 12th - GRIMSBY - HARTLEPOOL Leg 6 - 13th - HARTLEPOOL - DUNFERMLINE Leg 7 - 14th - DUNFERMLINE - INVERNESS Leg 8 - 15th - INVERNESS - THURSO Leg 9 - 16th - THURSO - FORT WILLIAM Leg 10 - 17th - FORT WILLIAM - CARLISLE Leg 11 - 18th - CARLISLE - COLWYN BAY Leg 12 - 19th - COLWYN BAY - ABERYSTWYTH Leg 13 - 20th - ABERYSTWYTH - BRISTOL Leg 14 - 21st - BRISTOL - BARNSTAPLE Leg 15 - 22nd - BARNSTAPLE - BARNSTAPLE (The Great Toy Run) (89 Miles) Each day is open to as many out-riders as we can get hold of, last year on some of the legs we had up to 100 riders helping us along the way. We will be working mega hard to get in monies from various places including sponsorship, from things like standing outside supermarkets to street collections right down to a infamous 3 legged pub crawl, with all money raised going to two charities, the 1st being the Devon Air Ambulance and the 2nd is TBC.
