Modifying the GZ - What's Available? http://gz250bike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1058
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There aren't many tire options for our bike that come in a matching set. There are, however, many options if you don't mind mixing up tire brands and/or going to a slightly smaller tire up front. The factory tires sizes are: 110/90-16 (F) & 130/90-15 (R) The rim width for the front wheel is 2.5" and the rear wheel width is 3.0" That being the case, a size 100/90-16 front tire will work on this bike. It does have an overall diameter decrease of 9mm over the 110/90-16 but that isn't really very drastic. Samato has verified that alternate tire size 100/90-16 will mount up with no problem. As well, the 120/80-16 alternate tire size is another choice for the front tire and has been successfully mounted by MRLMD1. Factory replacement tires: 110/90-16 & 130/90-15 Dunlop D404 (only available through a Suzuki dealer) Metzeler ME77 (only available through a Suzuki dealer) Cheng Shin C906 & C907 (possibly no longer available) Rear Factory Replacements: Kenda Challenger Pirelli MT66 (Route 66) Maxxis M6103 Cheng Shin Marquis Metzeler Me 77 Factory Replacement Front: GBC Green Shark Metzler Lasertec Pirelli Sport Demon Avon Roadrider AM26 Conti Ultra TKV11 Kenda K671 & K673 100/90-16 Front: Bridgestone BT45 Maxxis M6002 Cheng Shin C6000 Kenda Cruiser IRC Durotour Matching tires with low profile front: 100/91-16 & 130/90-15 Kenda Cruiser For more discussion and lots of info, see these posts: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=722 & viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1818 This list is not complete but will be updated as more options are discovered... |

Re: new shoos
That being said, I think you can get away with a 140/90. But space under the rear fender is already tight, so I can't verify that it won't rub.
To my knowledge, no one has used a 140 before. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
