    Pro Vector front tire similar tread/look?

    I was really curious so that's why I thought I'd ask you guys I know dunlop is making similar vector tires for the rear. I'm not sure if there working on a front tire but is there a certain tire that comes close to looks of the old pro vector tire?

    Which pro vector? The '83/84 R has a tire that's a pro vector. So does the '85/86 R. I think the older vector 83/84 is the 301.

    If your talking about the 200X fstyle Pro Vector then the Nanco N701 is the closest I know of

    Oh I didn't even know the 83/84 had a pro vector tire But I was talking about the 85/86 250r tire.

    The '85 250R was equipped with dunlop tires, front & rear, and the '86 250R had Ohtsu Pro Vector tires who's tread was almost identical to the Dunlops. The '86-87 TRX250R's also had the same Ohtsu rear tires as the '86 ATC250R.

    I'd like to see what people think. Most of the tires will be 21 inch though.

    Here's a few I thought would not look too out of place on a 250R not sure on rim size though:

    This raptor front tire looks similar (Dunlop KT 581)

    Are you talking about the KT577A that is identical to the OHTSU Pro Vector 701? I thought Dunlop was stepping away from ATV tires?
