Bridgestone Fall Rebate

Although I really like my Dunlop Mutant's, I can't find a front tire in stock anywhere.
For the late model 1991-2003 NH 750, Stock Front Tire Size: 110/80H-18 and Rear Tire Size: 140/70H-17

My last few sets of tires I have run 150 in the rear with no problems, because 140 is hard to find (in a matched set that includes stock front size).
I have never altered the front tire size. Michelin for example has 120 wide for 18" rim but I don't want to take a chance on it. The front rim on late model NH is rather narrow compared to bikes that are made for 120 front tires.

I spent a couple hours, found that the Dunlop Roadsmart 3 was available for front but the rear was out of stock. That's what you get for waiting to the end of the riding season.

I have never tried Bridgestone T32 but Revzilla showed correct sizes - but out of stock.
Rocky Mountain ATV had them! and there is a $60 rebate through October 31. So I will get $60 off the following prices. Right now they have 5 front tires in stock and 2 rear. Front tire just delivered - mfg date May 2024 (less than 6 months old)

Having ridden on both the T31s and the T32s on my STs, I can say you won't be disappointed.

Yep, I've got T32s on my NC700.  Great rubber.

Got the front on - next is balance.
Very traditional tread pattern compared to the Dunlop Mutant I just took off.

But improved wet performance.

Yeah - those are some deep sipes (grooves). Maybe I won't be such a pussy in the rain.

The one you took off looks almost square.  Anything should be better than that!

Took a week up north with wife and dog to "Avenue of the Giants" (redwood trees) using a device that I cannot recommend. About 800 mile up and back and the front was already past halfway gone, mainly on the sides. This thing squared it off, flattened the center.
