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.

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.
