Mitas supposedly makes one, but the US distributor doesn't carry or really know about it. They are the only manufacturer. Best bet is to install an 18" wheel. I went down this road with my SX.

no trials tire worth running comes in a 19"

[shelbycobra]

its not even the same concept anyway, it wont have proper sidewall or wont get the same effect as a 18 inch

Sad but true. You'd need an 18" rim to run any decent trials tire, unless you happen to find that Mitas somewhere.

I want a DOT Dual Sport 19" for the front end. I have a 3.5x17 C186 Cheng Shin on the rear.

irc makes one, and i even believe that the c-186 also comes in either a 3.0-19 or a 2.75-19 i can't remember which ?

I just checked the IRC website and they didnt have a 19"

Trials tires are in available in 18" only -

2 seasons ago - I bought a 18" wheel that fits both my CR250 & my CRF450 and it's been a great way to go - traction is incredible

Vee rubber makes a 2.5 19 trials tire and is DOT cert. It's a much better TRIALS tire than the ChengShin's. The actual cross section of the footprint is much wider than the equivalent ChengShin, but its not a 3.25 - but I bet in Cheng Shin terms its close.

Doesnt Dunlop make a 19" tire also. I believe vintage enthusiats that have 19" wheels like Greeves and Ariels run them. IIRC I saw something on TC about it.

[gmoss357]

aahhh, front. sorry for the misunderstanding. ?

[Motosprtman]

remember fellas the FRONT tires of the Suzuki TS and Yamaha DT were 19" untl about 1973 when they all went to 21" Cheng shin has discontinued the 3.00 X 19 they had, and now shinko (formerly yokohama) offers a 2.75 X19. Other than that ebay.... and pay .... ick.

[Motosprtman]

ya know not to say they were correct - back in the day but ... Suzuki and Yamaha both ran 19" front ends on the early "enduro" bikes, later 21"... I think this is what the fellow that started this thread may have been looking for....

[laser17]

Check with Vee Rubber. They make the best 19" front trials tire that are used on the GasGas 80's with the 17/19 wheelsets. If I recall, its labeled a 2.75, but it is wider than all the others ive seen at 2.75.

[Motosprtman]

for those of us restoring vintage bikes, the old suzuki's came with a front 19" wheel, 3.25 X19 is as rare as hens teeth.

Shinko (previously Yokohama) makes a 3.50 X 19 and a 2.75 X 19.
