16in Enduros?

Ribo

Twist the "go-go" side and hold on!
I'm trying to find some dual sport tires for my XJ650 and having no luck.

Does anyone know of a set that would match the following specs:

Front: 100/90-19
Rear: 130/90-16

The biggest issue appears to be the 16in rear wheel. The only tire I can find is a Bridgestone TW40 TrailWing. Have to drop to 120 but that's ok, however the only option for the front with this is a 90/100 which I think maybe too tall for the front fender (not sure but clearance looks tight).

I'm not finding anything else - anyone got any better knowledge here or suggestions?

a 90/100 would be the same height as a 100/90

ok so I think that makes sense - 90 is the aspect-ratio so I'm guessing that measurement doesn't mean 90mm. Can you explain it to me so I can do me some learnin' please :)

Second number is the height as a percentage of the width.
So a 100mm wide tire with a 90% aspect ratio is 90mm tall.
A 90mm wide tire with 100% aspect ratio is also 90mm tall.

Awesome thanks - makes 100% sense :)
