What tires ya running? was created by Bartman512

Im getting closer to taking this box of CT3 Ive put back together for a spin but these original Yoko's wont hold air. What's a good tread that looks close to original?

Shinko 244s on my 78 DT400. I chose them over the 241s because I think the bike by nature looks more aggressive, and the 244 tread highlights that. But I think the square 241s look better on the earlier models.

The Shinko 241's are copies from the old Yokohama trials tires installed on our Enduros back in the day, but now modern rubber and DOT legal. I spend more time on street than dirt on my '71 DT1 and the Shinkos are stellar, stick like glue in twisties and do just fine in the dirt too. Priced right as well!

What tire sizes are you running front and back??

The only option in Shinko 241's seem to be, 3.50X19 for the front and 3.50x18 or 4.00x18 for the rear.
