1991 Lightburner tires?!
-
Hello all,
New owner of a 91 tdr125 lightburner in the USA. They were never sold here and so I’ve had to be pretty crafty finding parts so far since it’s pretty rough!
My newest issue is tires. It currently has metzeler Sahara tires on it, 100/90-18 and 130/80-17.
Those sizes are pretty hard to find here, especially looking for something with a slightly aggressive look.
So far my best options are:
Eurogrip trailhound which come in the exact size but are a pretty new tire without a ton of info or long term reviews.
Shinko 244 which would have to be ordered in 3.50x18 and 5.10x17
And finally my top choice but the one I’m looking for guidance on, kenda k761 where the main issue is the front only comes in 110/80-18. Has anyone run that size before? Just worried about clearance.
I thought tires would be an easy part
Thanks!

Hello @chalcosoma,
Apologise I didn't get around to replying last night.
You can get away with running some pretty aggressive tyres on the stock rims, my friend once went very savage on his DTR (to the point spokes to breaking left right and center
).Sadly, I am not that clued up on tyres and availability in the States in general, but I certainly would have thought this wouldn't be a hard problem to solve.
It would be interesting to hear what other people have run in the past as I know quite a few members had TDRs.
