Can someone answer a few questions about the 85 & 86 ATC 250R wheel & Tire combo for me. Seems like I see Dunlop tires with the same tread design as the Ohtsu Pro Vector's, front and rear. Were the dunlops a replacement tire or found on a certain year??? Then there are tires with "Pro Vector" spelled out and others with just "P/V"

Then there is the issue of the wheels. I see some Hirata wheels and some Enkei.......what is what? I have both 85 and 86 R's and would like to get the correct wheel/tires on each.

Please only answer if you know for sure. I too have seem many 85 and 86 with either combo, but just wondering if there is any rime or reason to this mystery! :crazy:

THanks in advance!!!

Dunlop tires and Ohtsu tires had the same tread pattern. The Dunlop tires were on the 85's and Ohtsu's were on the 86. Enkei were 86 and hirata were 85
The original Ohtsu tires spelled out pro-vector and the replacement Ohtsu's had p/v.
