ok looked up both markings on rims and tires as front had slow leak. my front rim is j19xmt 2.15 with "84, 2 and /5 in small circles", front tire was metzer 880 marathon 110/90-19 m/c 62 H.
rear rim is 17xMT 2.50 enkel 1178- the tire on it is metzer lasertec dot xe 5v F329 0507 75r-0051611 130/90-17 m/c 68v. what ever that all means. OK the valve had a leak and there was old liquid sealer inside the front tire badly corroding the inner rim when tire shop pulled it off, front axle was corroded in to wheel with anti-size and i could not remove it, The gent named Con at Brisbane motor cycle tires at moss st was fantastic, he saved the rim cleaned it up, freed stuck axle, checked it on a lath to see if it was straight and put new valve in rim and a new tire and balanced it, he said old tire was 9 years old
,New tire is a metzeler lasertec 100/90-19 m/c 57H (19681) 75-r 0054191 price $160 all up with above work. he said that new tire will be better than what i had and i went with his recommendation. sorry long post, any info on tire/rims welcome its been a long time since i put bike tires on, second post with my small mistake to follow thanks clancey.
