So far so good. I have looked at the JC Whitney on line cat and found the Cheng Shin C180 for the rear at a 3.50-19 and the front is the C117 at 2.75-19. Didn't see the 3.00. Do you recall the style/model number? The way I understand it the original tire size for the rear was 3.50-19 and the front was a 3.00-19. Am I correct? Has anyone run a 4.00 on the rear? It just might be a little too big and rub the fender.

I am running the 350 on the rear and the 275 on the front. I did not see a 300 in their selection but on my next one I am going to try the 325 for the front. Part # CBT621265. I believe you can run a 400 on the rear with no problems. I have seen some shots of guys running good size knobbys.

Gary, what model tire is the front 3.00-19. I'm having one hell of a time finding one. I have found the C180 rears, 3.50-19.

CB tyres

Reading these posts is very informative. I'd really like to find a pair of Dunlop K70s for CB. They really allowed me a serious degree of grounding, all those years ago. Confidence inspiring.

I just put the new Dunlops on my 66 CL-77(K-70 3.25 front, K-81 4.10 rear) they look and work sweet. This 43 year old bike actually handles decent(on smooth roads) $ 137.00 delivered, from " Motorcycle- Superstore . com"

Thanks D, they only seem to have 19" for scramblers. I need 2.75 x 18 & 3.00 x 18 for CB.
