85, 86 250r front tire whats the options

[250rfan]

OK Guys,
what are the front tire options for my 86 250r either with staying with
the OEM rim or changing to a 10" rim.

[Mr. Clean]

The only 10 inch rim I have been able to find is custom order. I posted information about that about a week ago. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?t=63214 $104 and 4-12 weeks lead time. They can be found though as another board member acquired one as I was ordering one.

I've nothing but good to say about the Kenda Front Max.

hey, what about 12'' ? anybody have any info on 12'' ? would be nice to get 12'' DOT tires.

Thats what I have on my 350x and is also probably the most popular choice.

4cylinders,

Is the 12" on a Tri-Z by chance?

If so, the stock Dunlop front tire was still available a few years ago. I believe the original '86 Z tire is also the OEM front tire on another Yamaha 4 wheeler.....but of course not DOT legal.

hey, not sure about tri-z wheel, but there are a lot of DOT scooter etc. tires out there. what are the specs for a tri-z front wheel?

[rustyhondas]

i am not sure what DOT scooter tires have to do with anything?


i run a kenda front max. i will buy another one. they look good and work good and are cheap.

[4cylinders]

hey, street legal means DOT tires, for hi-speed. over 65mph, for long distances, on highways/ pavement. sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, just get some info for 12'' wheels.

Cheers Guy's,
The Kenda's look ok but am really looking for some thing more aggressive,
something bad ass!......
Please keep the suggestions coming.

[don250r]

something more aggressive??......
how about a Lumberjack chevron(23x8-11) on the front?

I dont know if you have seen the Kenda front max up close but they are sick. Deep lugs great handling and strong. If you want a cool looking tire good luck. If you want a great tire that will handle great and keep you safe check out the Kenda front max. The Tires on the rear of my Tecate Kick ass I love them. Great for all situations and strong.

I use dunlap tires that are identical the stock thread. The Front max is great for trails and sand. I don't like how they handle for mx, they grab too much and fight counter-steeting alot.
