Posts: 1604 Colorado Springs, CO Gender:	What are the OEM Tires on the New S40's? 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!

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!

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!
