27psi for the Excelsiors and 25psi for the generic rear. The 27psi comes from experience. It tracks beautifully and you can follow any line with it. Any harder and it would bounce too much. I don't go harder than 25psi on the rear as it is the only cushion you have. The swing arm is pivoted just about at the hips and anything that comes through runs the risk of rearranging your internal organs!
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

RobP is running Avon AM26 on his 19” wheels.
100/90-19 size I think. He seems happy with them on the road and they are much much better than the standard fit Avon’s on the race track

Any reason not to run 18" on the road?

The MMC factory racer that Mark drove had 18" fronts. I believe someone here bought a set of 18" wheels from Mark and is running them now.
It really makes sense to use 18" with all the gooey sticky tires available for the 18" wheels. Maybe not the best for street. I'm sure there are plenty of 18" street tires that would wear well too.

I run 18” wheels for racing
My AM26 130/80-18 tyres are too wide for my mudguards, but hey, maybe the wider Euro 4 mudguards might be worth a try. Should be a few knocking around cheap soon 😉
BTW, It cost the best part of £1000 to go 18”, but there is far superior grip and the tyres have lasted a full season of abuse
