Hi everyone,
I know that this has been covered briefly before but i was wondering if there may be any new information out there on this subject.
I am currently looking to put a set of dual purpose tires on my 1982 XS650SJ. It has already had a good bit of modification done to make the bike lighter and the few times i have taken it off road with just the standard street tires i was really impressed with how it handled.
I have read over Bluebikerblan's post where he talks about the following tires
" 16" Rear Tires
Duro Median 904 130/90S - 16
Bridgestone TW 40 120/90 - 16
18" Rear Tires
Duro Median 904 120/80S - 18
Dunlop Trailmax 120/90 - 18
Bridgestone TW 42 120/90 - 18
Bridgestone TW 302 4.10 - 18
Bridgestone TW 52 * 4.60S - 18
19" Fronts
Dunlop K 70 3.25 - 19
Bridgestone TW 39 90/100 - 19 "
I was just wondering if anyone had any feedback on any of these tires or if there are some different ones i should check out as well.
Thanks,
-Micah
