Share your TX750 tire brand and size with others.
Post reviews about quality, ride, and wear.

Go and change from whatever type of tire you are runing to Bridgestone BT 45 front and rear. Driveability and handling will be world's apart from what you have known before, you won't recognice your old bike.  Martin |

So far, I am very happy with the Kenda Challenger's: Kenda Tire Website - Challenger At the time, I wanted to get my bike on the road, but didn't want to break the bank on tires. Very happy with these. |

I initially used the Kendas since I was very happy with that brand on my classic Vespa. Their wear wasn't that good, so I'm currently running Shinkos (being economy minded) which seem to have better wear characteristics. Since I don't drag knees in the corners or ride in the rain (just a minor drought in progress here) I can't comment on the performance aspects of either.

That's the only one's that I get get both front and rear in my size. So I'm getting ready to mount a set of 712's myself. |

I am also running the Kenda Challengers. I bought them right before a long trip and needed them badly, but I wasn't sure how long I'd keep the bike. I have actually been pretty impressed. It took me a while to trust them though, I was convinced I wouldn't be able to corner hard with them, but it turns out they can take it.
As a side note, don't let anyone change your tires with a hydraulic tire changer. At least the front. With the long spokes the hydraulic changer can throw you rim out of round, and he shop will likely claim (as they did with me) that the rim was like that when you brought it in. I ended up spending $200 on getting the wheel re-trued and rounded by an older triumph mechanic who had been building wheels for 30 years. I can't complain about his work though, the bike never felt so good.

They are indeed 712s.

Looking at prices, the Shinko 712 is pretty cheap. They are close in tread design to the Sava's that I put on my Suzuki K10, and handles great. I was thinking about getting Conti twins. I used them before on a GS450, it handled so much better than the stock tires.
What is the sizing for the Shinko 712 for our bikes? Are yours equiv to stock?

And the tubeless tire mates correctly to the stick rims?

I use 120/90-18s on the rear with a tube. They mount just fine.
