Title: Need to find a suitable tire.
Post by: Straymonolith on February 13, 2006, 05:03:27 PM
So I just replaced my front tire with a Dunlop K510 110/170-17 Radial.
The thing is I don't think Dunlop makes a 130/70-17 or a 140/70-17 for a rear wheel.
Any ideas about what rear tire I could get that will go with my front tire?
I wanted to avoid mixing brands or radial/bias.

Have you searched Dunlop's website?  I can't really be more helpful right now my kids are home and I gotta get off the computer.

I've looked on Dunlop's website and all I can find is
a 140/70-17 Bias tire and a 140/60-18 Radial
While I really need a 140/70-17 Radial. Or a 130 would be fine, too.

Actualy I just found info on the Dunlop D205 Radial 140/80 ZR-17 rear.
Would that be all right with my front tire being a Dunlop K510 Radial 110/70 ?
