Hey everyone, what tires are recommended for a CR250M restoration? My bike came with the original Dunlop Sports but I dont believe I will be able to find any of those. Any help would be great! |

Quote: what tires are recommended for a CR250M restoration? Since you have the originals, you'll notice they are non-metric sizing. Like you already figured out, good luck finding NOS originals without blowing your budget. I just put the metric equivalents on my restos, usually Dunlop 756 and now Geomax. On my 73 and 79, the tires are the only non OE items on the bike. I'm restoring a 93 CR250 right now and had a hell of a time finding an original Dunlop K695 back tire for it. It will be the only one of my dust collectors that has the OE tires. I recommend you keep an eye out for the originals, because you never know when you'll stumble on to a set. I have vintage bikes that were completed years ago and I'm still finding and replacing various items with NOS or better used parts than I used initially. I am going to rebuild the bottom end on my 73 this summer because I manage to find a NOS main and countershaft for it along with a NOS replacement rod and big end bearing. The crankshaft will go to Racer Toys Store for a rebuild with the new components while I rebuild the tranny. dogger |
