Looking for scrambler tires...Any ideas?

[Mickey85]

I've looked at a number of websites for scrambler-style tires, and can't seem to find matching tires in the sizes I need. I have an '81, with 18/16 inch wheels, and have looked at 100/90/18, 110/90/18, 3.00X18, and 120/90/16 for the rear, and while I may be able to find the rear tire at various places, I'm having a hard time finding the front. I'm looking for something like this

Any suggestions? I would like to keep the fenders, so going TOO wide in the front is out...

I put a set of these on an old AJS. They ar Shinkos and only about $40 each

Yeah, just like that. Where did you get those, and do they come in XS400 sizes?

I got them off Ebay and they are 18 rear and 19 front.

Thanks! Those look like they'd be perfect, but the only 16" Size they have is 3.00...IIRC, the stock rear size, being 120/90 would equate to about a 4.20. So I either make it look like a moped with super skinny tires front and back, or find another for the rear. Eff...

Here is a 81 xs400 with 130/90 16 on the rear and a 120/90 18 on front. The rear tire is a Vee Rubber and the front a Continental TK16. That back wheel is now on my XS650, after milling the 650 axle down to 17mm.
Here is a link to a good looking 130/80 16
