Just go with a high-mileage version of a radial. I would NOT go with
non-radials, the bike was designed around them.

Subject: Re: Chain/Sprockets/Tires
What's involved in the 530 conversion? (Bob, do I run a 530
chain/sprockets?)
Just getting the right patters sprockets and hang a chain on it?
As for tires, I liked the Dunlop K591s on my FJ, only bummer is that they
aren't radials. but decent mileage. Since I do very little canyon carving, I
like to get a lot of mileage out of my tires.
Any ideas for that?
