I have a 1982 Nighthawk 650SC. I recently bought this bike, and of course it did not have the original tires on it. Doing some research, I learned that these bikes could have Dunlop Qualifier tires as the standard tires. I have been doing some research on these and have been unable to find them at all. The decal on the bike says the front tire size is 3.50S19-4PR. I have seen so many pictures of the bike I have with these tires, but I cannot find any for sale in this size. Does anyone know any possible avenues I could try to find these tires?

Not sure if the Qualifier line is made any more, but Dunlop makes the D70 which should be suitable.  Avon is also usually a good option.
Try Partzilla or maybe Dennis Kirk to see what's in stock in the sizes you need.

You can also use a 100/90 x 19 tire. Radials would make a noticeable improvement.

I may try to do that. The only reason I wanted to find the qualifiers is because I am in the process of restoring the bike and I am trying to make it as original as possible. Thanks!
