Front tire for Kawasaki Vulcan in Central America
Hello,
I am currently in Honduras, and the fact that my front tire is very, very worn out bothers me. Any tip on where to find a tire around here, or in Central America in general? I drive a 95 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 (non classic) The tire is a 90/21 56H tubeless. If I can“t find it, is it a good idea to use a same size spiked tire with a tube? would it more dangerous to ride with that than my ready to explode tire? Any hints/tips appreciated. Neto |

Hi,
Costa Rica should have something. If you have a 90/90-21 tire, ANY universal or knobby (spike?) tire of appropriate size will work fine. Using a tube is NOT a problem, although many of the tires for bikes like BMW's with 21" wheels are tubeless anyway. You CAN even use a tube inside a tubeless tire if necessary. Search the HUBB for lengthy discussions on this in the tech sections. ANYTHING you could possibly buy is safer than a completely worn out tire. ------------------ Grant Johnson Seek, and ye shall find. ------------------------ One world, Two wheels. www.HorizonsUnlimited.com
