tires

[Corvairkid]

you know Ive been looking at tires and where i'm at, kind of an on/off road area and i want something meaty..er but nothing in a duel sport in a 140/70-17 and110/70/17 i live on the beach and have some light sandy trails and up at my dads in Ga theirs a lot of dirt roads with wash board sections i know not the best for a street bike but i plan on making new handle bars soon or later with a higher rise on them for a more up right ride

What size rims do you have, Kid? The rim size is always stamped on the rim. ;)

I think you might enjoy a pair of Shinko 244, or Shinko 700 tires. You could mount the size 5.10-17 on the rear wheel, and the size 4.60-17 on the front wheel.

Those tires work well on the street. ;) However, you might enjoy a pair of Shinko 705 tires. :)

You have good choices with the Shinko 705 tire. You could mount the size 140/80-17 tire on the rear wheel, and the size 120/90-17 tire on the front wheel.

If you get a less aggressive tread than the Shinko 705, you might as well stick with street tires. ;) The Shinko 705 tires are designed for 80% street use, and 20% off road use. This tire is designed for either front, or rear fitment. All of these tires are speed rated for at least 94 mph. ;)

Great minds think alike. ;) I see you found the Shinko 705 tire while I was composing my message referring to them. :)

[Corvairkid]

The Shinko tires are well manufactured, and it's hard to beat their price. I mounted the Shinko 524 tire on the front wheel of my Zong. I also bought the Shinko 524 rear tire for both of my Honda motorcycles. :tup:
