    I Can't Find New Tires

    Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to find new tires for my 1980 Gs250. I can find the front tire easy enough but I can't find any for the rear. The size it 3.50-17. The only tires I've found in this size is by a brand called Duro from Taiwan. Is there anywhere that specializes in odd size tires?

    3.50x17 is a very skinny rear, but available in metric size equivalent easily enough.
    Superficially, a metric equiv would be 80 / 90 x 17 some samples from a Euro stockist...just for example so you can find some your side of the pond.

    I'd even look at going up a size to a 90/90 x 17
