Avon Safety Mileage Tyres

Avon Safety Mileage Motorcycle Tyres

The Avon Safety Mileage range is one of the most enduring and recognisable classic motorcycle tyre families ever produced. Known for its traditional block-pattern tread and robust construction, the Safety Mileage has been a favourite tyre choice for British motorcycles from the 1940s through to the 1970s. 

For riders and restorers who want a tyre that delivers authentic period appearance with dependable modern manufacture, the Avon Safety Mileage remains the benchmark.

The distinctive block tread pattern is central to the Safety Mileage’s identity. It echoes the tyres originally fitted to countless machines from BSA, Triumph, Norton, Ariel, Matchless, and Royal Enfield, making it the natural choice for anyone seeking a period-correct look. Its design provides predictable, steady handling and a comfortable ride, qualities that suit the relaxed, torquey nature of classic British singles and twins. 

Many riders pair a Safety Mileage rear with an Avon Speedmaster ribbed front, recreating the traditional combination used on many postwar motorcycles.

Avon continues to produce the Safety Mileage using modern materials and quality control processes, ensuring consistency and durability while preserving the tyre’s unmistakable vintage styling. Available in a wide range of popular classic sizes, its tall sidewall and traditional profile help maintain the correct stance and steering geometry of older machines, making it popular for faithful restorations and wellused everyday classics alike.

At Vintage Tyres, we stock the full range of Avon Safety Mileage tyres, all supplied fresh and stored correctly to maintain quality. Whether you’re completing a concours restoration or keeping a favourite classic on the road, the Safety Mileage offers the ideal blend of heritage styling and dependable realworld usability.
