Rear Tire For a GS 400t

[LeeSimpson1975]

Hi everyone,

New to the forum here and have a question about tire selection. I picked up an 1982 GS400 for a steal ( i swapped it for a mountain bike) i had bikes growing up ( 48 now) but never did any major custom work. Ive decided to build a brat style cafe racer out of this bike. I have stripped it down and done some fab work f( i think i will post this progress in another forum section though..im thinking about tires and have a quick question about the rear tire, i want to use the tire below in the link but i am having trouble finding the specified rear tire a 3.50 - 18, my question is can i install the tire below? this is a 4.00-18?

any help would be great !

cheers,

You can run a 4.00 or 110. That linked Avon is crazy expensive. I'd do a hard pass on that. Get some Shinko's, and save a bunch of money. Tubeless tires are fine, just use a tube inside.
