85 gs700es tire replacement size options and suggestions

[Guest]

Hi I'm new to the forum and I'm having a hell of a time with my bike finding parts that interchange or finding parts in a reasonable price range my most immediate issue is replacing the tires the stock tires that has are Tire Size:Front: 100/90-16, Rear: 120/90-17 and I'm trying to find if any similar tire sizes that will work for the front in the rear hope someone out there was able to help me out and has had similar experiences at interchanging the tire sizes

As you have no doubt already found out there's a very limited selection of 16' front tire out there.If you want sticky and short lived Pirelli Sport Demons or Bridgestone BT45 will do you.Good stick with longer life look at Avon Roadriders or Mettzler Lazertec's, some don't like the later but I had a set on the 85 750 and they where good to me Have a set of Shinko's on it now,the 230 Tour Master is good but I would not get the SR743 for the front again.In my opinion Suzuki undersized the tires of the 83-6 GS750/700 and a 110/90-16 works good on the front and a 130/90-17 is great on the rear,both those sizes are easier to find.
