    Front tire choices for 250R?

    i have been looking for tires for the stock 11 inch front rim on my 86 R.
    I have found a stock replacement, and the Kenda K284 Front-Max.
    Are there any others out there for an 11 inch rim? What do you guys use?

    The front max is what I use also. (23") I don't remember a lot of choices in the
    11" size. I have a spare Cheng Shin tire in a 23.5", but man does that thing look soooo much bigger than the 23" kenda.. I'm not sure, but I prefer the Front-Max as IT seems to be one of the best choices of any that are available.

    The Kenda Bear Claw is available in a 23-8-11. Or maybe the ITP Mudlite, it also comes in 23-8-11. check SMIMotosports.com

    The front max is a great tire, not the best for braking, but a great tire. And not to expensive either!
