2020 Triumph Rocket 3R
I have been trying to source tires for the Rocket 3R now since January, seems here downunder in Australia there is no stock of Avons or Metzelers (cruisetec), Rear tires will not be available until End May....anyone else struck this issue or have any contacts of where these can be sourced?
 
EasyR are showing cruisetec give them a try good luck
 
I've been running Exedra Max on the rear since owning a 2.3 Roadster, now religiously on the 3R. Not a fan of the Avons. The Cruistecs are very good, but the company can't seem to figure out how to actually produce them after teaming up with Triumph to be the new official tire for the Rocket (wtf?). I've never had an issue getting the Exedra (that is here in the US). It's less expensive than the other two and handles, in my opinion, better. A slight fender mod is recommended- very easy to do.

Bridgestone now make cruiser tyres in Rocket sizes. Any good?

Can't find it on their global site. I see 2 models but they're both 240/55/16

Can you share the model name?

Edit: if you're talking about the 240/55 then please ignore. I thought they launched one which is 240/50 and got excited

You've no doubt heard the plus side of going up to 55 and just want to keep stock. But if you try it you'll never go back.
