I have a '83 185s that has Leakeys on it.(Go figure) And I've decided it's about time that I replace em'.
I was wondering what to do for balloon tires, I really want that OEM look. But I don't know much about tires.
Point me in the right direction!!!
Thanks,

when you say "Balloon tires" are referring too Honda's accessory optional parts "Chevron Pattern Tire" ? If so haven't seen any for sale in sometime. Think they are more rare than the US90 Balloon tires. LOL

I got a few cheng shin 829 knobbies with my YTM's. They are nice and tall, and bounce well.
I'm currently using them on the fronts of both my YTM's.

what sad,
Is that I have 3 pro/ am H-traks. But they're dry rotted, about 50% tread and all have tubes now.
And other than the little dry rot, they were near perfect when I bought the machine like 3 years ago.

Probably a dumb question, but, Why do they look so small of diameter compared to the rim hole? Is that just cause it ain't aired up?
