Front tire Replacement
 

I'm having a heck of a time finding a good reasonably priced tire for my 99 GZ250, 110/90-16. I was chatting with a sales rep that recommended the Bridgestone Battlax BT45 Motorcycle Tire 110/90-16 Tubeless. From what I understand these factory rims require tubes. Now I'm confused, can anyone shed some light for me and recommend a place I can find the proper tires and tubes.


Thank you!!!!

You can put a tube in a tubeless tire......Almost all tires manufactured are tubeless. :).....I also ran a 100 on the front.......Much easier to find. :)

I just barely put on a Shinko SR735-9910-01 tubeless on my 09 in 110/90-16 and run it with a tube. Been really happy with it and it was easy on the budget.

Thanks, I did find a shop around town that had Avon AV71 in stock 150.00 installed.

MT90B16 Tires
 

I ended up getting the Dunlop American Elite MT90B16. That is the same as 130/90/16 correct? Is this going to give me problems?

Thats a rear tire & most likely too wide for the front.

It's a front, says on the tire and it does fit. I did have to raise the fender.

Good to know......When I google it says rear.......Did you have to raise the fender much??

I raised it 3/4'.

Interested to hear how it affects handling.
