Track tires

A friend of mine is looking for some sporty DOT tires for a 250 ninja with 16 inch rims. All I can find are 130/70-16 fronts. Can these be turned around and put on the back?

Your best bet on the 16 inch rims will be the GT501. You will have to raise the front fender about an inch (go to http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_raise_the_front_fender_to_fit_a_110-width_tire%3F). Plenty of tire for the little ninja.

Back in the 80's we turned around front tires on the 250s because no one made a sticky rear tire for them. That is not the case today. There are lots of tires for 250 Ninjas. Check this list:

The GT501s are the favorite 16" tire of racers, but you do have to modify the front fender. The Sport Demons are good tires that fit without moving the fender.
