Vintage style tires

[Matt F._imp]

Any recommendations on vintage type tires for the CB?
I’m looking for vintage style... think Firestone, Coker etc...

I’m fullly aware of the performance limitations of going with antique/vintage tires. I don’t use this bike for performance, I’m going for a look. Thanks

Try Duro. They make modern tires with retro tread patterns (think Dunlop K70, K81, TT100, F11, etc.) I bought a set for my '73 RD-350 and was quite pleased with the look.

Do you know if this would require tubes? I’m assuming my stock tires on my ‘14 standard are tubeless

I believe the '70's retro styles are tube-type.

And, yes, Matt, your '14 standard tyres are tubeless.

Any issues or does anyone have experience with switching over to tubed tires on the cast made-for-tubeless wheels?

These have tubes in tubeless rims - but i won't know how it rides until the spring.
