92 500 came from factory with 19 inch rim. Tire would be a 120/90/19 or a 110/100/19. I would go with a 120/90/19. What type of dirt do ride on? 120 (Larger this number the wider the tire) is the width and the 90 (this number get smaller when the tire gets wider) is a ration between the width and the height of the tire the 19 is the rim size. Maxxis IT is a cheap tire and wears like iron, Kenda Milleville is a great tire but wears a little faster than the Maxxis IT. Hope this helps some one might be able to explain better.

When you say your looking on e-bay for a tire I hope you mean a new tire on e-bay.  With the speeds a K5 can run, a used tire, you have no history on, could cost you thousands. 
My bike is an '04
I'm running this on the front     http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=71554&nav=&sMMY=

And this on the back             http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=71692&nav=&sMMY=   

I bought them here                http://www.motosport.com/offroad/index.php

Buy them as a combo set at less cost.  Free 2 day shipping over $100.00  dollars.
Easy to spoon onto the rim nothing like the MEFO (High speed/German manufactured) tires I put on my KLR650.
Hope this helps, good luck on your tire purchase.
