Verify tire size 1982 GS850G

[Guest]

Based on feedback here and my prior experience with Pirelli tires, I'm going with the Sport Demons. PO's tires are from 2008.

Ready to buy a set, but want to make sure these are correct.

Ended up saving another 37 bucks purchasing at Motorcycle Superstore. Delivery by Friday, free shipping. Very excited to get some new rubber and feel the difference.

2008? Mere striplings. When I put mine back on the road, the tyres on it were the same ones it had on before - ten years before.
They weren't new then, either. Can't say I had a moment's worry about it.
Then again, the bike was stored upright, on its centre stand and indoors, so UV degradation wasn't a problem. I did keep a careful eye on the possibility of cracking and signs of age, but it never happened. Those tyres wore out just like normal.

You have a point there, I'm just being safe. Do they LOOK ok? Yeah. Who knows how often the PO rode it, or how he stored it. For 200 bucks, it's worth it, IMO.
