Front Tire Recommendations

[200xer]

The front tire on my 200x leaks so I'm going to replace it. I believe it's the original anyways. I believe the size is 23.5x8-11. Any recommendations on what tire and where to buy?

[Huffa]

I have posted ?'s too about front tires. While I have not tried them (Kenda Front Max/AT) every one that has them swears by them! It is a true steering tire. 44 bucks for your size which is very resonable.

This place may be just a few bucks more per tire then a few other websites but there shipping is way lower I have found. Very fair deals. To my zip for 2 tires it's 11.50 per tire to ship. That IS the cheapest I found to my zip by far.

PS....... lots of sites were way more per tire also.

Either go with the OEM one or the Front Max. I've had the Front Max on my 86 200x and my 86 350x and think it works great. I want to get one for my SX also.

I bought the OEM Ohtsu Pro-Vector front tire for my 350X at the dealer. Was only like $50 and change for it.... it says 24" on it instead of 23½"... but is the OEM replacement tire. Can't see any other difference in the tire than the original.

I bought a pro-vector too, and its a 24" also, I thought it was a mistaken part number, maybe its a superceded part. a 1/2' is real hard to see.

Yes and no.... it's the same exact part number if I remember correctly, just the current tire says 24" on it. Normally a superceded part will have a different part number than the original. In fact, I think I had them run the part number a couple times and the descriptions said different things in the book and the computer.

Dunlop makes a 23x8x11 that looks like the OEM 250R front tire. I think the model number is KT576. that is what I have on my 200X and 250R
