Parts Bike with New Tires Found

Hey, guys! I found a cheap parts bike on Facebook with brand new tires on it (whaaaat?) so I figured I’d go for it, but first I wanted to know for sure that these tires would fit on my ‘78 xs400. Seller sent me these photos, but I have no idea what I’m looking for to determine the size.

Nope both tires are the wrong size.

Looks like a xs750.

So no way I could make that work? He’s selling the whole thing for $125 and I know that’d be cheaper than getting just tires somewhere else so I was hoping to snag a deal!

Different size tires and wheels. You have 18" front and rear wheels. That bike has 16-19 and the wheels wont even fit your bike.

I use Shinko Tires on a few of my old bikes....very reasonable prices and actually not too bad a tire.
New ones are only $50.00 - $70.00 each.
Not paying $120.00+ each for "high end" tires that wear out faster than the Shinko's anymore.
