I ran 19 front and 19 rear on my Bianchi. I used Avons,only thing I could get H rated, wern't cheep they were about $150 each. I can get 'em if ya need 'em. lots of cheeper tire options in H rated for 18" rims

I'm running 18" with Dunlops. They go all the way to Z rated if you go faster than you expect. Remember to check the records for your displacement; it's not what you think it will do, it's what tech thinks it should do.....
