Replacement Tires

I'm looking for new tires for my GZ and having a hard time finding a matched set. Anybody have any luck finding tires?

I use Kenda tires.But you need to run a 100.90/16 on the front as they don't make the 110.90/16

Re: Replacement Tires

Do a search on "tires". You are not alone. However, ultimately everyone seems to find something that works.

It's been discussed recently.
Also, they don't have to "match".
And as mentioned, the don't have to be exactly the same size (width) either.

Re: Replacement Tires

I did do a search and did not find much info, I know that they don't need to match but I like them to.

Re: Replacement Tires

I wound up with a Dunlop 404 for the rear and a Dunlop gt 501 for the front. Seems to be a good "match". Bike handles great.

Re: Replacement Tires

I had a 120/80-16 Cheng Shin on my front and it fit and rode fine. These tires and the 100's are only 1/4" or less different in diameter from 110's and you or any other expert will never know the difference.
Do a search on here, there are innumerable tire threads.
