Tyres for a 79 CB650Z
« on: July 21, 2008, 04:38:36 AM »
OK so the correct tyre for my 1979 CB650Z is a 350H19 but you can't get them anymore.
The closest I can get is a Bridgestone G701 110/90/19 which is the only tyre they make for 19 inch wheels.
What does everyone else use on their old CB's with 19 inch wheels?
The cracked up old one on the bike right now is a Metzler 350/19.

Thanks Buber, I'll take from that that the 110/90/19 is the right tyre for our machines.

I just need to go and check what's on the side. It may be 100/90, but definitely runs good! At least for my liking.... :D
yep, I believe it's 100/90

You sure, you have 19 inch rear? Shouldn't it be 17inch? I have 18, because I have Zed... :D
