I already Spec'ed out some Kenda K761 Dual-Sport Tire or Shinko 705 Dual-Sport Tires front and back. (ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED  ).
I only am going to do about 25% or less on dirt. I want to keep a set of tires under $150 for front and back.
Are these Hawk rims made for tubeless or tube tires only? If they are tube, not sure I can use the old tubes in new tires, since the size varies slightly. However that is low on my to do list. The sizes I am looking at:
Front 90/90-21 (stock is 80/100-21)
Rear 110/90-18 (stock is 110/100-18)
Comments, suggestions for some good skins for my rims... |
Yes, unless you want to spend a young fortune, you have to use tubes. I THINK the stock tubes will work fine. Beware, the quality of those OEM tubes is not the best...ARH
