The back tyre on my XJ is just about done and I am now looking for another
brand. It is shod with Michelin Macadams at the moment and I have to say
they are the worst and most uninspiring, confidence sapping tyres I have
ever tried. Especially when it's raining.

So, any of you out there who have owned one of these bikes, your comments
on the best tyre for this bike would be appreciated. Can I also fit
100/90 - 18 front and 120/90 (or 80) - 18 rear on it's skinny wheel rims?

I'm using Bridgestone BT45 on regular sizes 90/90 and 110/90 on front and
rear. Last appr. 10.000 km and I'm very happy with them..
