'''Note''': The GT501s that were OEM on some 2008 bikes, in sizes 130/70-17 rear and 110/70-17 front, are only available if you live in Australia or Great Britain.  
Although not listed on the Dunlop website, the GT501 is available in stock 250J sizes. See [http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/28/394/6075/ITEM/Dunlop-GT501-Sport-Bias-Rear-Tire.aspx Motorcycle Superstore], [http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=543852&store=&catId=404&productId=p543852&leafCatId=40402 Dennis Kirk] or your favorite retailer.
 
There are no recommendations for GT501s as of Feb 15, 2009. If you want to be our guinea pig, please do so. The closest sizes available are Front: 110/80-17  Rear: 140/80-17.

Don't put IRC tires on your bike. Just don't.
Don't put IRC tires on your bike. Just don't.
These are the stock tires for the EX250J. If they work OK for you, keep them until you're ready to replace them. But there's no sense in replacing them with another set. You can spend less and get ''much'' better quality. It doesn't matter if you want a tire that sticks better for sport riding, one that lasts longer for the long haul, or something in the middle for all-around. See the other choices on this page.
