Title: What are the OEM Tires on the New S40's?
Post by Digger on 10/02/12 at 09:20:23

OK, my search skilz are admittedly weak, but I could not find out what tires Suzuki was currently selling our bikes with.

Can someone who has a 2010 or newer S40 with the OEM front tire still on it please take a look and tell me the brand and size of the front tire on the bike?

TIA!

Have they changed at all since re-badged as S40? If not, I know for a fact that the IRC front and rear tires are 100/90-19 and 140/80-15, respectively.

seren,

Thanks for that.

All I know is that the OEM front tire on my bike (see signature) was an "IRC Grand High Speed GS-18F." However, I have reason to believe that, from 2005-on, that a different tire was spooned on at the factory.

Can someone with a 2010 or newer model (that still has the OEM front tire on it) run out and check the brand and model designation, please?

TIA!

Digger,

Here's what the sidewall off my 2005, when I replaced it in 2009 (when I bought it)

Looks to be the same as well...

Hi Doug,

Thanks....now we're gettin' close!

I know I'm being a pain, but would you please check the model designation that is listed after the "Grand High Speed" lettering on your front tire? On my 2001, it says "GS-18F". What does it say on yours?

I appreciate your trouble!

TIA!
