2002 Honda XR400 Tires
I've got to get a new rear tire for my 2002 XR400. The stock tires that come on it are:
Front 21" 80/100-21 51M Dunlop K490G
Rear 18" 110/100-18 64M Dunlop K695
I'm trying to find a good after-market rear tire that's got a treat pattern for 50% on-road/50% off-road that's a little wider than the stock. Apparently, you can go with a wider rear tire, like a 120/100-18 for instance.
I know that on my old XL-250, it had a 4.10 rear tire, and I went with a 5.60. The Honda shop said it would rub, but it didn't. So, I'm thinking I can probably go a little wider without too much of a problem.
Brian suggested I go with the Kenda K270 Dual Purpose 5.10-18 Rear Tire.
I'm wondering how this converts though, so I found a converter on the web and it looks like it converts as follows:
4.6" = 114mm
5.1" = 130mm
So, I'm guessing that I can run this tire. I just need to find out where to get one locally, if possible.
