Just orderd a new rear 140/80 18 TCK80, was only $225 fitted.
Much cheaper than I expected.

Tried doing a search got one small passing comment of no consequence!

Has anyone here tried "Shinko" 705 tyres on their venture bike?

I am contemplating fitting a pair to the Tiger for a try, any comments welcome! (even rude obnoxious ones, I need a laugh)

[NordieBoy]

They're going to be my next road biased tyres after the rear E-07 wears out.

Robin at LMS can only supply E-09 18" in 130/80.
The XR650L should have between 110 to 120 in my opinion on the rear.
Do you think the 130 will be over tyred, or should I try something else for sub $200? (what though)?
He can only do a 90/90-21. I think I can live with that, but a fat 130 might be too much rubber. What say you?
Cheers,

110 section tyres are only for 250cc bikes max.

I run 120/100/18 on the 400 ( and have got a dunlop D606 to fit for the next ride which is a 130/.../18 ) so 130/80/18 would be no prob for the 650.

Have you though about a Michy T63, cycletreads has them for about $125 -140 depending on size.

[tri boy]

Cheers for the advice Mark
Doing a bit of research now actually, and the T63 pops up regular.
Als0 Pirelli MT21, V rubber VRM147?, and D606's.
I will sniff round town this week for deals.
Thanks again. Really need the good advice with the XR's.
