Topic: What size tires for this '78 CB550K?

[jbswearingen]

Okay, so the manual says 3.25-19 front and 3.75-18 rear.

The front that's on there now is a 3.25/19, but the rear is a 4.25/85-18.  The side walls don't seem too bent because of this extra 1/2".  Both tires need to be replaced.  Should I stay with another 4.25 or go back down to a 3.75"?

Thanks!

I didn't think you could still get a 3.75 for the rear.  I put Metzlers on my 550's.  3.25 fronts and 4.00 rear.  I like them.
