Where have all the 70 Series Dual Sport Tires Gone?
Notice the difference in size between the two tires.
(the picture is exaggerated because the CST tire is not inflated.)
The stock RX3 CST tire has a 70 aspect ratio.
The Shinko has an 80 aspect ratio.
There is about a 2 inch difference in diameter.
I bought the 1" lowering link and the narrow seat for my RX3 to bring the seat height down.
With the new Shinko it goes back up an inch.
The only 70 series dual sport tire that I could find is the RX3 stock CST tire in 130/70-17.
Other 70 series tires of that size are all street tires.
Something to think about when purchasing a new rear tire.
