3.5-18 or 140~18 tires size confusion

[Guest]

Shopping for tires for my GS400 I cant figure our what the correct size for my bike is? I dont trust the tire that is on there to be the proper size...

Can someone LMK what the correct or known to work tire size are for this bike?

Heres a link to a pic of the model I own. http://www.suzukicycles.org/photos/v...Canada_640.jpg

This is a good link to figure it out.
3.5-18 would convert to 100/90 18

So this is what I need?

110/90-18 is a good size for the rim on your bike. You can't go much wider due to the wheel width.

If you are going Shinko, the 230 is a better tire than the 712.

The tire that is on my bike right now is a 130... ???

Guess what I should have said is you "shouldn't" go wider than 110. Using anything wider just pinches in the sidewall which reduces the tires contact patch on the road.

WOW! the shipping is more than the tire on that EBAY site!

try Sirius Consolidating Inc.
I'm not sure if they ship tires to the states but I got a pair of tires and a dozen other parts shipped across the country and they only charged me $13.50 for shipping.
Had it in 5 days too.

I checked and they have a $25.50 flat rate for tires (as many tires as you want!)
and a $12.50 flat rate to the US for anything else.
They also have a decent bit of NOS Suzuki GS stuff. Including dirt cheap OEM gaskets.
