Title: 3.00 x 18 ribbed front tyre
Post by: AshimotoK0 on January 04, 2021, 03:50:06 PM

Anyone know where I can get decent quality 3.00 x 18" ribbed front tyres to give original look to my CB250K0's.

Only ones I can find are Cheng-Shin and no idea what they are like.

I use Cheng Shin (CST) ribbed on the front of my 400 and I think the 550, bloody brilliant. Very soft compound, sticks to the road like shite to a blanket.

Grips quite well

Wow ... that's great news Julie.. if they are  good enough for you then I a buying four of 'em for my CB250/350's.  I must say they look the closest to the late 60's ribbed tyres my bikes would have had when new.
