Suzuki GT380 1974 front tire replacement
Looking for a replacement for the stock tire. Size is 3.00x19 or 90/90/19. I cant seem to find this size anywhere. Seem to only find the 3.00x18 or a 3.25x19. Found 2 tires that will work. One is a Avon and its 200$ the other is a Dunlop and it looks a little to knobbyish for me. Anyone replaced one recently and can give me some info. Thanks

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Hi I've just re-booted my stock 77 GT380 with a 90/90-19 Avon Road Rider. I know they are not cheap £80+ here in Blighty but they look the part, but have a modern profile. To be fair I checked out a few suppliers and found most were around the same price.

+1 on what Glynn has. Same on my 77 380B. It has a nice feel on the road.

Another vote for a 90/90 Avon Roadrider. Excellent tyres for classics.
When I got my 380 it had a 100/90 on the front, the handling was much better when I replaced it with the 90/90.
