Just wondering if someone has any info about the tires Honda used for the 1985-86 250r as well as the rims.i am presently restoring a few I have a front tire that I haven’t seen before nor can I find anywhere.instead of having the usual P/V on the sidewall it has large PRO VECTOR written (I will try to add pictures) I was told they used these on very early 85’s and the company stopped to reduce cost.i don’t want to use it on the bike if it’s not original to the bike.i was also wondering if anyone could tell me what brand of rims were used for what year I have three brands ENKEI,HIRATA,DID. I was told Honda used the ENKEI early in 85 and then switched to HIRATA because they produced them cheaper.if anyone has any info about this would be appreciated.
Thanks Mike

85 250R used the Hirata, 86 250R used the Enkei, TRX used the DID.
I’m not 100% on the tires but I think they used Dunlop on one maybe both years 250R. Maybe someone who knows more about the oem tires that came on them will chime in.
