There's rubber out there. Try here as one place to find them. You may have to look for the inch equivalent, which would be a 3.75 to 4.00 by 17" tire.

you can get dunlop d404's in 120/90-17 - not a lot wider, someone here should be able to tell you if it will fit.

Are you sure a PO hasn't mounted a front tire on your rear wheel? That's my guess. I too have never found a 110/90-17 rear tire. Hard enough finding a 120/90-17. Which is my guess as to what your bike requires. I'm clueless about that 60s notation, tho'.

Not much is available in the 120/90-17 rear size but they include:
Cheng Shin Marquis
IRC 310 series Durotour
A Bridgestone model but I'm not sure of the name/model

The GS450T does indeed come with a 110/90-17 tire on the rear. The front is 90/90-19.

Here's a tire that comes in your size.

thanks

Guys
Just as suspected, what we have here is OE tire. Scarry, I have gone over it literally with a magnifying glass and found no issues. Gonna change f and r to new rubber.

BTW had to change R/R to SH-232 after two episodes of replacing the igniter.

Thanks for the support and great info on this site.

My GS will run forever

I'll be. I knew Bridgestone made a 120 but not a 110, Battle Ax series, gonna have to remember that.

Now gwascom 8-[, make sure to save all the old original air to put in the new tire to keep the ol' 450 as original as possible.
