tire questions.... I know grumble brumble

ok, my question down and dirty, no BS about it. Am I stuck with bias ply tires? I have stock wheels for an 86 VFR700. can't seem to locate any radials for this beast...

Thanks, C/R

 

dont think so

my sabre i found the dunlop d404s fit it they are radials just go see what fits its a pain to find who makes what but also helps to know the max dimensions so u can take those down and have them look thru the computer to find what fits

the other option i had was a brigstone set or a metzler set ill try and lookup what fits interceptors

Haven't found any radials, but Avon has a nice looking bias ply that is said to handle close to a radial tire. I think I read that bias ply bikes need there suspension upgraded to handle radial tires, dont know why? This is the tire I plan on going with....Avon Roadrider

 

actully the roadrider is what came on mine ill look at what the last owner put on

far as i kow he perty much raced the thing in the hills lol
scrubbed the tire down to the last 1/4 inch stripon the edge lol

 

i'm thrilled with these
