Finding the best tires for a vintage bike improves the odds of achieving peak performance and allows riders to balance modern materials and construction with classic looks to maintain the aesthetic these bikes provide. There aren&#8217;t a huge number of choices to give riders access to classic looks and great performance characteristics, but what is available provides good options. Size references here are from a 1966 R 60\/2 (3.50&#215;18) or 1976 R 990\/6 (3.25&#215;19, 4.00&#215;18); many BMW motorcycles from the 1950s, &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s share these sizes.
