Thanks to a large personal investment by forum member bboyrise, the Dunlop KT577A tire, which as many enthusiasts will know, was the stock rear tire on 3rd generation Honda 250R's and have been discontinued for quite some time. The tire is branded as the high performance "CHEETAH HP577C" to avoid copyright infringement since Dunlop did not wish to participate in it's reproduction, but is identical to the original OEM Dunlop tires found on the Honda machines (noting the same tread pattern, traction, performance, and size) which can help more riders looking for an OEM-style machine and restorers. However, originality is always prefered in that regard, and the value for original Dunlops in good shape will continue to rise. The tire will come in the original 20x10x9 size. We will keep you up to date on this developing story and let you know when the tires go on sale and for how much.
