Title: Tires? What would you recommend
Post by: dans89kx500 on December 22, 2007, 02:59:18 PM

I need to buy some new tires for my 89 kx500. What band and models would you recommend?

Thank You

I've had good results with Dunlops...756's and 773's specifically.  But I don't think it matters as much what brand you chose to run versus what tread compound.  And on a 500 I think the most important aspect is how large a footprint you're using.  For instance I use only 120/100's or 120/90's.  A 2.50" wide rim helps a little too.

try using the search option at the top of the page. type in tires and you'll find tons of info and opinions. the tire topic has been beat to death on here in recent months.   MADDOGGY
