Good Tires for a 1980 suzuki gs550e?

07-22-2005, 02:51 PM

can anyone recommend good tires for my 1980 GS550e? The tires I have on them now are god awful. I bought it with these tires on it and they still have a lot of tread but the back tire especially locks up wayyyyyyy to easy. they have no brand name on them. very sketchy. anyway...any suggestions?

what kinda of riding do you do? do a search on tires there are lots of posts with some good info, your tires probly suck cause they are 20 years old and turned to plastic.
