Front Tires look like new but they have alot of dry rott on the sidewall. I hate to thow them out. Can I save them by using a tube. I am getting new wheels but I can not afford new tires at the same time.

I would hate to blow a tire when I am going at a decent speed.

With all the racers on this site I'm sure you could find someone who upgraded their tires before they put any hours on the stockers, and they would prolly let them go for cheap.

Hey man I am in GA, right on the GA/SC border. I have 2 sets of front tires on rims. Using one set but I would be willing to part with a set of tires if you would be interested.

If you ride the woods and dont race I say replace them when you got the cash.

I had an old suzuki 230 that the fronts were dry rotted, it never failed me and they held air. If they did fail I figured i would finally go buy some, but 2 years and nada.

Tires are your life. Get some used tires that are in better shape. Remember your bike can go 70 mph at top speed so be safe.
