I just replaced the fork seals, fork boots and rim and tire on my '86 250 ES. I took Dougspcs's advice and went with a Bear Claw 25-8-12 and new rim. I think it looks pretty sporty. I used a bar clamp to depress the fork cap to remove the snap rings when I replaced the fork seals and it made the job easy.

Looks good. Its pretty amazing how just changing out the rim/tire on the ES and the SX can improve the overall look so much.

Much better than stock. The original front tire on my big red just gave out. Might be the right time to do the same.

The tire has really improved the handling. The front end feels lighter, too. I can't wait to see how it does in the snow.
