'motard tires for an XR200?

[JeffKoch]

Any suggestions for supermoto tires for an XR200? I'm not finding many options at all for the 80/21" front, or for the 100/17" rear except in "front" street tires intended for bigger bikes. I want to take the 200 to Stockton for Monday practices, and the bike has knobbies on it now.

http://www.discountmotorcycletire.com/ try here.I'm not sure what your rim width is but there are some dual sport tires (OEM ones for dual sport bikes:xrl,drz) that bridgestone make ,Exedra ?! And Avon makes the Venom X in an 80/90/21,and they have a Distenza line maybe check out the Avon website ,Pirelli has the mt-66 route line in an 80/90-21.As for the rear ,your best bet would probably be to look at OEM tires for smaller D/S bikes (xr250l and the Yamaha 225 (?) Also try the off brands (continental,kenda,cheng shin) now I know none of these may strike you as appealing but hey I found somethin, right ?! You should go to a race and see what the mini motard run , ask them.
