Tires (Oh no, another tire thread!)

[GSX1000E]

Just a (hopefully) easy question followed by quick answers.
I was just given two GT185 Suzuki's and without trying to look it up, am asking what modern sizes most closely cross over from 2.75"-18" and 3.50"-18"? I do not want recommendations as to which brands to use,
just the sizes thanks for reading before answering.

If you do the metric calculations, the 2.75" will be 70mm and the 3.50" will be 90mm.

Thanks. That is all that I needed . Now to try and find any decent tires for these relics...

Looked at motorcyclesuperstore.com, but did not see anything in your sizes.

Looked at Dennis Kirk, found THIS.
(The search criteria was "2.75 and 3.50 x 18")

Not much, but it is someplace to start.

Wonderful! I can get both tires that are rated for 20 mph more than the bike is even capable of for about $100.00. Cheaper than one tire for any of my other bikes and still somewhat safe.

I usually get tires from the mcsuperstore, too, but I have bought tires from Dennis Kirk, too. They do have a huge selection of parts, in general.

If you're looking for oddball tires, American Moto Tire is a great source -- they also allow you to look for tires by size -- VERY handy.

Great prices and fast shipping, too, even if you're not buying oddball rubba.


Lots of weird tire sizes at Tires Unlimited, too.

Their web site is a painful eyesore, but they're for real. I've ordered from them a few times. Decent prices, and they seem to stock tires no one else lists.

Yep, they are for real, and they are about 20 minutes up the road from me.

Back in the day when I would have my tires mounted, I bought them at Tires Unlimited. Now that I mount my own tires, I don't get up there nearly as often.
