Title: BS100 Sport Rear Tire
Post by: cachirco on July 23, 2021, 06:30:04 PM

I am currently working on getting a ‘69 BS100 sport running… As I purchased the bike it has a rather aggressive/knobby rear tire, which from my research appears to be similar to what came on the TR bikes. Does anyone know what the OEM rear tire was?

From brochures, it looks like it was the standard street rear tire pattern used on Bridgestone street bikes, a block pattern, but not aggressive.

Thanks, I ended up going with a Firestone 2.5 X17;  was hoping to get something a bit wider, but availability seemed limited.
