76KZ900 Topic Author Offline User Posts: 238 Thank you received: 5	Im looking for a set of new tires for my 1100 and was wondering if these are decent? On Ebay they are offered as Harley tires but I'm not thinking there should be a problem as they are same size. 78KZ400 (sold) 78KZ1000 (sold) 82KZ1100 (sold) 76KZ900 (sold) regret 03ZRX1200R (sold) regret 83KZ1100 LTD Shaft

All I found was there are a Harley version which I assume is heavier load capacity but not sure if that's something that would make a difference.. 78KZ400 (sold) 78KZ1000 (sold) 82KZ1100 (sold) 76KZ900 (sold) regret 03ZRX1200R (sold) regret 83KZ1100 LTD Shaft

We bought a set of 777 white walls for my wife's bike and I still have to install them. We are hoping to get 10,000 miles out of them (a season) we'll see. 78 KZ1000 A2A

J & P Cycle is a good source for tires.
They have very good pricing and do very large volumes of sales so the tires you buy are always fresh from the factory.
I have had great luck with this company

76KZ900 Topic Author Offline User Posts: 238 Thank you received: 5	Thanks everyone, I need tires and was looking at the 712 but read where they really want to follow the road cracks.. Which is what my dunlops do now. These are wore pretty good so I don't know if they did it new or not, but I don't want what I got now 78KZ400 (sold) 78KZ1000 (sold) 82KZ1100 (sold) 76KZ900 (sold) regret 03ZRX1200R (sold) regret 83KZ1100 LTD Shaft

I don't know what size tire a 83 takes Metric or inches?
If it's metric there are a bunch of good choice and none of them are dunlop
The only tire available in 3.25x19 and 4.00 x 18 ( which is what my rims are) are Avon AM-26 Roadrider's , I get over 10,000 miles on a set, they corner nicely and they don't follow the cracks.
I like them fine but I wish I had more choices,
I have not had great luck with the metric equivalents on my rims.

I put a 230 on the rear and it handled great! Not expensive either. I don't have a plan and I'm sticken' to it! '77 KZ 650 / 750 GPz custom project in progress
