Where is a good source of street tires for a Z50? I'm looking for something fairly cheap but not necessarily the cheapest. I'd like to be able to see the tread pattern before I purchase too. thanks

Kings brand.There are some on Egay for a fair price.I searched the net and really didn't find any one selling them cheaper.Good "budget tires".

Thanks, but if these are what you're talking about, I'm looking for more of a performance tread pattern

KT-903 or KT-932 is what you want. Click them.

Danman2540 · 05-07-2008, 07:56 PM

thanks, will the 4x8 fit?

arlindsay1992 · 05-07-2008, 07:58 PM

4.0-8, that's what I got and it fits fine. I've run 4.80-8 dirt tires at one point. No clearance issues on stock forks or swingarm.

Heidenau K75's is the hot ticket. One of the best 8 inch tires on the market.

3.5X8's are $36
4.0X8's are $39

patman · 05-07-2008, 09:21 PM

No I'm talking about these.

EddieNewYork · 05-08-2008, 09:58 AM

Anyone order the Heidenau's from here?

And, does anyone know if the 4.0X8's fit the stock Panda funrider's stock wheels/forks/swinger?

Sorry don't mean to hijack.

vegatron75 · 05-08-2008, 07:08 PM

What size are most people running?

What size are these? 3.5in or 4in?

totty · 05-16-2008, 06:10 AM

The look like 3.5" to me, I run 3.5" front and 4.0" rear.

arlindsay1992 · 05-16-2008, 06:12 AM

KT-903's only come in 4.0 wide.

Yes. I run the 3.5 tubes on my 4.0 tire now. And I also use the same tubes in another bike with 4.8 tires. So yes they will work.
