Yes there are dunlop tires available.
They came stock on the mid '90s honda cub.

The only place I know to get them from is Honda, but unfortunately they are on back order right now. Ive had a set on order for over a month now.

Ive only seen one ruckus with them on.


It looks SO badass!! I cant wait for mine!

There arent too many in the ruckus size. None that I have seen are as aggresive looking as the Dunlops.

The factory sizes are 120/90/10 front and 130/90/10 rear.

To my knowledge, the only place you can get them is through honda.
They are the rear tire on a '90s honda cub:


The size is 130/90/10, which is the stock size for the rear of the ruckus and one size bigger than the fronts(but will work with no problems).

I've had a set on order for over a month now through honda. They just recently came off back order, but I still havent received mine.

Heres a thread on TotalRuckus:

Hope that helps.

Sweet.

I called the dealer today and they told me the reason they're off back order, is because they are discontinued. I guess they weren't even going to call me.

What a bunch of f*cks.

I guess I'll just do street tires like everyone else.

Just a heads up, I looked into atv tires and all the tires in this link SHOULD? fit 130/90/10 = 19.2x5.1/10 that's the conversion to standard here's the link http://www.4atvtires.com/tireSearch.php if any one tries these please post pics or let me know if they worked

correction, most of the tires on the link I would be willing to bet that a 20 x 6/10 would fit with out any problems

The stock tires are fine, unless your muddin'. The camo color tires are cool, if the ladys at the pits are into that kinda stuff.

after further research into it i ended up not getting one. i still want one but in NJ you need to get licensed and register it and insure it as a street bike. Its not worth it for as often as i would use it. having 3 cars is already pretty bad

That sucks man. Here in good ol' South Dakota, 50cc and under does not require license, registration, or insurance.

The only thing required is putting up with jackass cops who dont know the law, and pull you over for not having plates.

Default Re: Dirt tires for the ruckus???

Hi I have a 2006 Big ruckus, its great but I do all of my computing on a dirt road, Can any body help me get some knobby tires? I can not find any at all!

If there are none can I change the rim out to a size that would allow for some good ***** yet still not lose the size of the tire, Is that posable ???

If anything Id like to go to a bit bigger of a rim.

Any advice is appreciated thank you!
