Hey, I have a 2016 Bullet 500 EFI. I currently have a 3.50-19 in the rear and a 3.25-19, stock tires. They're the speedmaster mkII in the front and safety mileage mkII in the rear. I've done around 5500 km and I've probably got another 1500-2000 km left. Just wondering what tires you may suggest and whats the biggest I can fit. Not looking for the biggest, just maybe a little bit bigger than the current tires. And how would I go about using 2 front tires for front and rear or vice-versa. Thanks!

Hi VIJAYINDER---Page 170 of our hosts current cat. shows Dunlop K70 tyres which I would suggest are a better all-round tyre than the SM ones you have at present.( I have these on my T140 Bonny. )
You might get really adventurous and opt for the famous Dunlop K81 "TT" tyre...
I wouldn't start to play around with tyre sizes just for the sake of it...They are expensive enough anyway and you could end up with a combination that upsets the bikes handling and becomes a danger to you and others....

IMHO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you wouldn't go far wrong with Avon Roadrider. Reasonable price, good grip wet or dry, and they last well too. I run them on my CX500 as well as the Enfield.

Hi 2cvANDY----Snap !!...I have the same on both my Bullet 65 and Honda XBR500 and agree entirely with your comments..

+1 for Roadriders. Sticky and last well too.

Thank you for your help everyone! happy riding and ride safe!
