tires for 450

[terrylee]

Ok, I been able to find tires for the frt. of the wife's project bike (81 450t), which manual calls for 90/90-19, but I have not been able to find 100/90-17 for rear it calls for. Found lots of 110/90-17 would it be ok to use that size, if so do I need different size for the frt.? Thanks in advance, terrylee

I'd use a 100 front and 120 rear. The rims will support those sizes so why not?

That's what is on my 450e.

still can't find tires!

I still am having a hard time finding a rear tire for the 450. Stay up till past 1am and could only find 120/90-17 rear in very expensive ones. Lots of 130/90-17, could I use one of those with a 100/90-19 in frt.? terrylee

Ed, check again..they don't have the 120/90-17 in the Shinko, just the 130 and 150.

Yup, I stand corrected. Sorry.

Found an Avon Roadrider for $74... http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/tpl/ti...fCatId=&mmyId=

I've been running the Avon Roadriders for a couple of years now, first on a GS750, and now on my GS500. Just replaced the front tire after getting 26500 miles on the last one.

I finally found the sizes I needed. Duro tires, anyone have any experience with them? Can get both for 116. shipped. terrylee
