96 Dirt Squirt tire options

[robbnc]

I was just wondering what tire options folks have found for this bike? Stock is front: 2.75x19 and rear is 3.25x17...I don't seem to be finding a lot available, that and the fact I don't really know what metric tires might fit. Any suggestions are appreciated.

what style are you looking for ? Trials type?

Look at IRC GP1. A really good and off-road capable tire although not a knobby. Knobbies are not to be found...

I would prefer knobbys but if they're hard to come by I could go with something less aggressive.

Ahh, sadly I was coming to that same conclusion. I will look at the IRC. Thanks

That's not a bad looking tire! And they have the sizes although the 2.75 x 19 is listed as a rear. I guessing at these speeds that's not going to make any difference.

Try bikebandit.com for the front tire.
It looks like these are not as readily available as the were not so long ago...

I managed to get a 2.75 x 19 and a 3.50 x 17 IRC GP1 from two different sources. They definatly seem to be scarce, but that'll hold me for a long while. Next time I may have to think about going to 18-21. Thanks for the help!
