120/80-16

Here is a link to the vfr forum which has the best tire information I could find.

110/90-16 is the stock size but damn near inpossible to find (when I was in need anyways)

Oh and there was an issue with running radial tires on that size rim also. Something else you might want to think about. Radial is deff the way to go.

Hmmm, might have been shinkos I had bought. They were cheap (around 70 each). I thought shark but shinko could be the name.

shinko is a good street tire, but must be properly warmed and most dont prefer them on twisties... so idk i have the wheel on the bay right now... if it sells for what im asking great if not ill take my losses and just run a staggered set up...

just one more thing to make mine different

I had the GBC Street Shark tires. Just looked up cause it was bugging me which ones I had. They were fine for everyday intown commuting but no good for twisties or spirited driving. Crank the throttle and she'd spin everytime. No confidence in the corners as I just didnt trust the tires. Sold the bike and never looked back.

Me too. When I had the VFR I was actually looking at putting a front rim from an f2 on to allow for better tire choices.

There are both of the bikes together.
