Super Rat 93B Tires

Post by 1963corvette »

Hi All,
I'm having a tough time finding a matching set of tires for 93B Super Rat; front 3.00 19 and rear 3.50 18 Knobbies.
Anyone have a good source to purchase? Can't find anyone online that carries the front and want the back to match. Cheng Shin carries the rear but not front.
Thanks
Ron

All Moto Tire is a strong Hodaka backer. Has deals Vee Rubber and they have the only size your looking for. http://zwvoq.xqehl.servertrust.com/Sear ... p?Cat=1824

Thanks, I ready contacted them and they do not carry the 3.0 19 front tire. They do have a 2.75 19. The correct front tire for 93B is 3.0 19 so would like to find one, but exhaustive search is coming up empty. Very surprised other Rat owners have not run into the same problem.
Thanks

The Super Combat came with a 3.00-21 and I have been really happy with the performance of the 2.75-21 from All Moto on my SC.

Thanks Bill, I may put a 2.75 19 on it which s/b ok with the existing rim? I'm checking one other place overseas and will let everyone know what I find out on finding a correct 3.0 19.
Thanks

Ron. Just have them confirm the date stamp on the tire. You don't want to buy something which is really old. ; D Victor

I don't think the date stamp is that important when getting a tire for a restoration. They stop making that tire a few years ago. I have nos tires that are old but in storage waiting for a restoration.
