Mine has Bridgestones on it now, and they're dry rotted and won't hold air. I am pretty sure those weren't the original tires though.

Did these bikes come with Yokohama tires at that time?

IRCs and Bridgestones, which is what mine came shod with from the factory.
In 1997, I wrote Suzuki to ask what I should put on the bike, since the OEM size had been discontinued. They told me to buy NOS tires from their warehouse, identical to what the bike had new, except that they were 15 years old.
I replaced my Micheliins with Chen Shing (?) Marquis. They were the best set of tires that I put on that bike.sigpic[Tom]
