Please share your experience with V9 Roamer tires other then Sport Demons in OEM sizing.
Any tire setup ideas for riding without passenger and luggage?
Please recommend lightest tires to reduce unsprung weights.
 
Avon Storm 3Dxm. Not sure about weight but they’re radials so maybe lighter than the Sport Demons.

There are many options on the market in theory. Avon even offer cobra chrome rear in both bias and radial variants in 150/80 16 size.
I’m asking for opinion from somebody who has practical experience with non-OEM tires on V9 Roamer.

It mostly depends on availability for you in Russia, and your riding style and expectations from a tire... then of course size & fitment. Matched set selections are tough with the Roamer... and tire threads always crash and burn with opinions. Post your notes from my question.

There is no issue with availiability of any brands/models/sizes.
Anyway, I will stick to OEM sizes and load indexes - 100/90 19 (57 load) and 150/80 16 (71 load).
I use V9 Roamer as relaxed urban cruiser on less than perfect roads.
I’m very temptated by Avon Cobra Chrome WWs for the looks , but what is more important I anticipate comfort improvement from radial instead of bias ply on the rear. Should I expect this from radial rear?
