CMCOFFEY Posted July 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2014 I remember reading tire load specs on the front and rear tires for the 84 Venture, but I cannot remember where I found them. I am trying to find a dual sport tire set that will handle the load of the first Gen Venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utadventure Posted July 29, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2014 In the history section of the VR.org there are specs on the different Ventures. Under tires is will show the size and load rating. The load rating on the 1st Gen MKII is 65H for the front and 71H for the rear, if I remember correctly. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCOFFEY Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted July 29, 2014 that is correct. 120/90-18 (65H) front 140/90-16 (71H) rear the rear tire is the hard one to find. Apparently Ventures are not meant for off-roading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted July 29, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2014 That's going to be a tough find. Post it up if you find a set that meets the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMCOFFEY Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted July 29, 2014 Have you seen the movie that cowpuc posted a while back with him riding through the sand on a trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCOFFEY Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted July 30, 2014 no luck on finding dual sport tires that will fit the Venture. I will continue searching later. For now, I am going to order a set of Shinko 777s. those will last a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
