Title: GSjack i need tire help.
Post by: joshr08 on March 10, 2009, 06:34:57 AM
ok heres the deal im looking for a matched set of tires for my wifes bike 100/90-16 front 120/80-17 rear.  They will be going on a VTR250.  I have been looking around and the only matched set i can find is BT45's and since i didnt like these on my gs im not really wanting to put them on her bike.  Any places i should look or any ideas of tires i should check out?  Thanks

This old fitment guide is outdated in tire choices but would indicate the 88-89 VTR250 would take 100/90/16 and 130/80/17 tires as well as the oem 110/90/16 and 120/80/17 sizes.  Gives some more choices in current tires available.

Can get Roadriders, Lasertecs, and Demons in those sizes as well as others. Roadrider has both the 120/80/17 and 130/80/17 rears.  What kind of tires are you looking for?
