I really don't know who made the tire - again big mistake. I just put on what my shop owner had in stock. He's right next to the University of Hawaii and in college $50 is a lot of beer. It was just a cheep tire from Japan. I've heard great things about the Kenda's and have ridden them

I have to chime in on this one - I purchased a cheep front tire from the shop I take my bike to. Big mistake. I feel all the grooves in the road and really don't feel that comfortable in tight corners. I replaced it within 1,000 miles and don't regret it - don't like having to buy a second

Avon makes the Road Runner which is a fantastic tire for the 83-85 Nighthawk. I have a set on my '83 and they are really nice. My buddy ran them on his '83 NH commuter and got huge miles from them between changes. He sold the bike after putting 114k miles on her with most of those tire changes
