GZ250 Enduro ?

BigIron · 10-26-2008, 07:51 PM

Has anyone put On/Off road tires on the GZ? Are they available in the right size?

I have moved up to a new Suzuki C50 for the street and would like a street legal trail bike. There are some dirt roads that become dirt trails around here that I would like to go exploring. I dont want to use the new bike but might use the GZ if I can get the needed traction. I realize it dont have the right suspension but I dont plan on "catching air". I just dont want to go slipping and sliding. :crash: So, has anyone used on/off road tires?

OK, maybe I should rephrase the question.

Is there a more aggressive tread pattern available for the GZ?

Just google the tire size of the GZ. Best way to find tires.

Agressive tires and one less tooth on the front sprocket might be a lot of fun. Too bad you can't stand on the pegs while riding. Your tailbone will take a beating.

You want some like these?

The best way I know to find them is to look on the tire manufactures web site to see what is available. Google doesn't work to well for searching for sizes because there there are several different ways the websites list them and many of them are tucked away in data bases that Google can't get to.
