Where is pete when you need him. Top of my head is 110/80 rear and 90/90 x 19 front. Have you seen my Magazine scans? Has your bike in there. The list is on this page, 6 posts down....... http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=212327Last edited by Guest; 11-18-2013, 05:08 AM.

Just answering his question. Its probably a 16" wheel, 19" is large for a rear wheel. Maybe he meant to type a 6 instead of a 9.

According to the factory service manual, stock tire sizes on the GS450T are 90/90-19 up front and 110/90-17 on the back. Assuming you still have the stock wheels, I personally would go with a 100/90-19 up front and either 110/90-17 or 120/90-17 in back.
If your wheel diameters are different than a 19" up front and a 17" in back, and you are sure it's a T and not an L, they have been changed out at some time in the past.
By the way, the stock sizes for the GS450L are 3.60S19 in front and 4.60S16 in the rear. This translates to 100/90-19 and 120/90-16 respectively.sigpic
