TBR7 Front Tire Knobby DOT 100/90-19 Links Anyone?
Has anyone been able to find a 100/90-19 DOT knobby front tire?
If so, can you please share the make model and link to purchase? I am beginning to think that convincing the Pope to attend Charles Manson life coaching classes would be easier than finding this front tire in the correct size! :-) |

Shinko offers a couple. They aren't super aggressive but the are super inexpensive.

Yes, the Shinko E804
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...CWI1WBOD&psc=1 Anything more aggressive? Maybe if everyone contacts Motoz with a bunch of manufacturing requests for 100/90-19 Motoz Tractionator H/T requests, maybe that can convince them to make one in that size. It appears to be everyone's favorite tire for the 17" rear versions of the chinese enduros, which is likely one would guess at least half of them out there. https://motoztyres.com/contact/ |

It looks like the Kenda K257D is a rear tire. Good find regardless.
Appreciate the reply back. The hunt continues. :-) |

Some tires have tread patterns that are best suited to be used as a front or rear. K257D is a knobby with symmetrical pattern, it should be useable as both a front or rear tire.

I settled on a Mitas E-09 Dakar 100/90-19 front tire. It is a true front tire with 80/20 and extra thick sidewalls. Seems nice so far. It is much higher quality than stock.
