Tires for a 1991 Miyata 1000 lt
I was very lucky this week and scored a nice 1991 Miyata 1000. I will post a pic when i get her cleaned up. I was thinking of putting some Rene Herse tires on her. Have any of you done that and if so how wide a tire did you try? 700c size. Any other tire reccomendations? I do not plan on touring with her,she is going to be my main squeeze for day cycling.Thanks

Perhaps measure it up? I'm thinking 38's should be a good fit.

I run Continental Tour Ride 38mm tires with fenders on my 85 Miyata 1000. The calipers shows they are exactly 38mm in width.
