Best modern tires combo for sr400 bratstyle

Hi,

I am working on a yamaha sr400 bratstyle project and I am struggling with the tires choice...
As a rider, I have no interest in speed, but I would still like to find a compromise between safety and look.
That's why I don't want to go for the Firestones, coker... Although they look awsome in my opinion.
Avon safety milage and speedmaster mkII are not much better from what I could read.
Dunlop K70 looks too small. The section height is important for me.
I also would like to keep the 18" rim size for the rear. I could go either for 18" or 19" in front.
After hours of research I found a convincing set of pics of the Shinko 712.
Performance/safety seem ok for what I want to do and they look good (to me).
Here are the pictures

Would anybody know what size these tires are exactly?
In the comments it is said that the rims are 19" front and 18" rear, but nothing is said about the dimensions... rear for e.g. is the tire 110/90-18, 120/90-18 or 130/90-80?

It would also be great to have your suggestion (with pictures or a link) for other combos in the same spirit.

Cheers guys.
 
I run the same tires but not in that size. My sizes are as follows

130/90-16
110/90/19

From the pictures the aspect ratio almost looks like 80 front and rear. Check their website for all available sizes and try to compare for a match.

My guess...

120/80-18
110/80-18
 
It doesn't matter what size is on the bike pictured. Only matters what size wheels YOU'RE using.
 
Thanks guys.
Now I am pretty sure that rear is 120/90-18.
I am still struggling for the front.
100/90-19 or 110/90-19?
