22-11-8 balloon tires

[dman10]

I have a '83 185s that has Leakey trailpros on it.(Go figure) And I've decided it's about time that I replace em'.
I was wondering what to do for balloon tires, I really want that OEM look. But I don't know much about tires.
Point me in the right direction!!!
Thanks,

Duro knobby is about as close as you're gonna get now a days..

Rocky Mountain carries them for about $56/ea

Unless you want to go the long dollar and search out some true OEM!!

when you say "Balloon tires" are referring too Honda's accessory optional parts "Chevron Pattern Tire" ? If so haven't seen any for sale in sometime. Think they are more rare than the US90 Balloon tires. LOL

When you say balloon I think you're talking about the really bouncy and soft oem 185s tires. X2 on duro knobbies.

Well if you want a cheveron like pattern look at these kendas. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=260695344855. However I reslly like my dura knobbies on my 86 125m they are great and for the price you can't beat them.

Good looking tires those kendas, but expensive...

I like the Cheng Shin 829 knobbies. Had one on my 90/110:

I got a few cheng shin 829 knobbies with my YTM's. They are nice and tall, and bounce well.
I'm currently using them on the fronts of both my YTM's.

I am running Kenda Scorpion's on my 200X's and I think they are great, $119 with shipping for 2 tires from Chapperal motor sports.

what sad,
Is that I have 3 pro/ am H-traks. But they're dry rotted, about 50% tread and all have tubes now.
And other than the little dry rot, they were near perfect when I bought the machine like 3 years ago.:(

Probably a dumb question, but, Why do they look so small of diameter compared to the rim hole? Is that just cause it ain't aired up?
