I looking at getting a set of Shinko 705 for my WRR. Though now I'm not 100% certain of the sizing. I plan to put them on the stock rims,

-Front-
Wheel size: 1.60 x 21
Bridgestone Tire: 80/100-21 51P (3.00/3.25)

They sell a 90/90-21 Front tire which is the closest, but the Shinko website says "Recom rim  2.15" Will this tire fit?

I put a 90/90-21 on up front and a 120/80-18 on the back. They do really well on the street, gravel, and hard pack.

However, they can be a handful in the mud based on my experience with my DR650 and 705's. Because of that I removed mine to go on a sloppy DS ride in Alabama a couple of weeks ago and put the MT21 front and D606 rear back on.

I really need to pick up another set of rims at some point.

The 90/90-21 if i am reading correctly is a tubeless tire? How does this work on a WRR stock front rim?

Works fine. I have been running one for the last year on my street wheels.

Yep no worries, you just can't go the other way - a tube tire without a tube.

One that would fit a 90/90-21 tire. Doesn't have to be exact though 80/100-21 will work too.

If you just stop by you local shop and tell them you need a tube and give them the tire size they should be able to set you up. Are you changing the tire yourself?

I will be ya, even though I've never done it before. Still deciding between the Shinko dualies to put on. Have you tried the 244's?

If I only had one set of wheels and plan to ride street, gravel, and some dirt then the 244's would be my choice if $$ were a consideration.

All depends on where you are riding the bike. If you will be on the street all the time then I would opt for the 705's. They will do ok in the gravel but not as good as the 244's in the dirt.

If you will be hitting a bit of mud every now and then well then I would go with a Dunlop D606 rear tire and a Pirelli MT21 front tire.
