Been watching some of these so called Y tube wanna be experts, and thier tyre reviews, I just wondered, which tyres you would recomend on a crusier for touring?

I found the Road 5s a bit soft and prone to punctures. I actually prefer the 4s or 6s. Mettzeler RoadTecs a re a good alternative too.

Yeah I rate them for cruisers. We've got 3 bikes each of different types but I think both the cruisers have these tyres.

Avon cobras for cruisers, very grip, great in England wet. Not the longest lasting.

Think I currently have perellis on mine at mo, but will replace with cobras once it's time

Not a cruiser ruder but do lots of Mike's and used mechelen 4s and 5s which were great but now on Metzlerr Roadtec which for me are far better suited to my bike and riding style..but don't buy cheap tho if doing lots of miles!!

Between Ely and Mildenhall

Metzeler Lasertec. I've used them on my Bonneville since 2006 and Falco since 2010. They give great feedback and are really good in wet conditions.

I fitted Michelin commander 3, had Dunlop American elite before that.

Similar performance but the Dunlop only had about half to maybe two thirds of the life
