Re: Yamaha SR Cafe/Bobber
I'm looking for a tire for 90% road 10% off. I think the k270 is a bit too chunky for my type of riding. The Pirelli you mentioned comes from the Mexico Tracker build, and I believe that a 19in not an 18? I don't believe Pirelli make an 18in mt60. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm pretty set on the Duro Median 130/90 16 rear. Just need a 100/90 18 front tire, similar to the duro.
Keep in mind I'm using an XVS front end. (Rims are the same width and size)
Thanks!
zap2504 said:RE: tires - in saving past posts from other SR250 owners, the consensus seems to be that (with stock wheels) the max size tire is a 100/90-18 front and 130/90-16 rear. When you say "chunky", how off-road are you looking? I've had my eye on a Kenda Enduro 100/90-18 K270 tire for my front like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KENDA-ENDURO-K270-MOTORCYCLE-DUAL-SPORT-TIRE-100-90-18-/230885083803?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c1d2ca9b&vxp=mtr and a Vee rubber 120/90-16 VRM 163 tire for the rear like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vee-Rubber-120-90-16-VRM-163-Rear-Motorcycle-Tire-Free-Shipping-/390557458366?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aef09dfbe&vxp=mtr. I also saw another SR250 build that used Pirelli 90/90-18 MT60s on the front and Bridgestone 120/90-16 Trail Wing TW40s on the rear.
