    You will not find an original tire for your bike. Dunlop stopped manufacturing them a while ago and if you do find one, the price will be exorbitant.

    They were good tires but not as good as the price they command on eBay, if one does happen to appear there.

    What kind of riding do you do? You have to choose between a 22" and a 25" tire these days and there is a reasonable selection of those in the 9" rim size.

    They actually are still being manufactured, just not as many. Dunlop of Germany won't import them until they need to make more. Mostly because there is quite a bit of stock in their European markets and they don't care *where* the stock is.

    Dunlop makes 22" (KT155, KT175) but they'll be 10" or 11" by 9.
    Kenda makes a bunch that come in several widths (K535, K530, K299, K300) but again, they are 22".
    If you've got the bucks,
