Title: Tyre size?
Post by: Clive on February 18, 2011, 07:52:34 PM
I know it's a long shot but would anyone know roughly what size these tyres may be?

Cheers buddy, 'might' be building something similar very soon! :D

Was really after what sort of width etc they may be rather than the diameter! Do you reckon they'd be the same front and rear, like two rear tyres!!

Hello Clive,

I reckon they're Dunlop K180 s so a good chance they're 130/80-18 (or at least the back one is, the front could be a 19")

I fitted a pair of 18" K180 s to my XS650 after having both wheels re-laced to a) take the wider tyre, and b) to reduce the front 19" to 18". Rear was already 18".

You can get the 18" size in the UK as its standard fitment to the Suzuki 125 VanVan.

If you want a 19", then getting them in the UK is difficult and/or very expensive.
