    Original equipment tires 1982 GS650G?

    Did these bikes come with Yokohama tires at that time?

    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.

    Could have been IRCs

    Forget OE, get the best tires you can afford

    Use the Search function, lots of opinion on what's "best"
    1978 GS 1000 (since new)
    1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
    1978 GS 1000 (parts)
    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
    1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)
    2007 DRz 400S
    1999 ATK 490ES
    1994 DR 350SES

      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.
