    Our bikes use a 3.25 x 19 front tire (aka 100/90-19)

    I personally have had excellent results from an Avon Roadrunner and Bridgestone Spitfire.

    I'm also a general purpose rider, so this is for all-round usage.

    I've run the Bridgestone Spitfires for years. I would buy them again. The only rear tire I had trouble with was a Dunlop Qualifier. The tire was the recommend size but for some reason it was wider than it should have been and would rub just a very little bit on the drive shaft. Especially at higher speeds.

    I've run the Dunlop Touring Elite II's for years with no trouble. Great handling, plenty of grip. Long lived too. I've gotten about 20K per rear and 40K for the front.

    visit americanmototire.com they have tires for eveything at reasonable prices. I run the GBC street sharks on my maxim with excellent results for such a low priced tire.
