Magician replacement front tire

[Ascot500]

Does anyone know of a source for the 100/80-19 front tire on the Magician?

I want to get one as nearly identical as possible

The usual sources: ebay, amazon, bike superstore etc. have not been any help

Typo? 80/100-19 is the stock in Yamaha XG250 that Magician based from.
What's stamped in rim? 1.85 or 2.15
Shinko SR241 (the trail tire) 2.75-19 seems works fine in theory if the rim is 1.85

Nope, not a typo. The RPS Magician comes with a 100/80-19 front tire. Kind of a goofy size.

I am not sure of a source for the OEM tire, but they appear to be something akin to an 80/20 or maybe a 60/40 tire or something in between.

The Shinko 705 comes in that size, is a similar type of tire, and is $50.
There are a few other options out there that will be a little more aggressive, but also quite a bit more expensive. The real issue you will have is finding a set of matching tires for the front and rear. 120/90-16 is an odd size.

If you want to get the OEM tires, then I would suggest contacting RPS directly. They do sell parts for them. www.therps.net

I'm quite curious who's (http://www.tirebusiness.com/article/...NEWS/180219961 ) behind that odd stock tire. Specialist shop for this shape in taobao don't list that size either

(UPDATE)

0:13 shows the '16 model is 80/100-19 (ie. as the normal config of this body shape)
