Anyone have a specific brand or type of tire for 1980 KZ750E that they could recommend? I will need both tires because both have basically rotted and only the rear will hold air. Any place to buy that has reasonable prices?

Thanks
Ray

I put Pirelli Sport Demons on my KZ650C1 (100/90 V 19 on the front and 120/90 V 18 on the rear) using new Metzeler tubes as recommended by Pirelli. They work REALLY well! I got them from Ron Ayers.

I've been using stock size Bridgestone Spitfires with great success! Prices average $60-70 per tire.
