Thanks for the info brother. 'Cept the only place I can source it is epay where the tire costs $40 & the shipping is $80. USD ofcos. I think I'm pass on this one. The amazon.jp will set me back bout $80-90. Also I think the CST is a offroad dirt while the other is more a dual sport (looking at the thread pattern/spacing). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Only the TR1 would finally be restocked and made available again on amazon.jp I'd snag one myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read somewhere you can have RevZilla order you one. Wouldn't hurt to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, but being in New Zealand imposes massive shipping costs from most of the World especially America in the rare cases that they will actually offer a shipping option to NZ. My most recent need to order some parts for my S18, had me contacting EUCO who were very accommodating and extremely helpful but the shipping really pushed the price up somewhat although I still went ahead. Every time I require an EUC accessory/upgrade Item I usually have to source it from overseas, so it's always a case of finding the least extortionate shipping quote as it more often than not ends up being way more than the cost of the actual item, unfortunately! I'm happy enough to wait for the TR1 on amazon.jp as we are heading into the colder months here, so much less riding for me now anyway, plus I do actually have a CST 803 sitting here that I have yet to fit and try out.

Scottie888 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Sounds like being a native Kiwi kinda suxs...unless you're a Hobbit ofcos. Its mighty pretty though although there are parts of Canada that might give NZ a good run for the money. I can't imagine life being so out there, in the middle of nowhere. Must be a nightmare waiting for parts on the Sherm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry, failed to check your location before replying. I'm sure NZ has it's perks. I know if I were to visit I wouldn't want to leave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if I were to visit I wouldn't want to leave. No worries, the only downside is sometimes having to wait a while if I cannot source something I need directly from our go to Roll.NZ! Every other aspect of life here and especially as an EUC rider really is idyllic. Most people that visit or have visited New Zealand (pre-COVID of course, no visitors allowed in currently) are of the same mind as you and do not want to leave!

mrelwood Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 2.50-14 is a common minicross (kid’s motocross) tire size, I’m sure there are many motorcycle shops selling those in Australia. While it is smaller than what fits the GWs and the V11, I guess the problem remains that we won’t know which ones will fit the S18 until someone tries the exact brand and model.

I have already confirmed in an earlier post that the CST 803 2.50-14 fits the S18 without modification, especially as I was easily able to get my current tire the CST 6004 2.75-14 to fit which is a much wider tire. I also have both of these tires at my disposal, so I do know from my own personal experience. Edited May 25, 2021 by fbhb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 That’s what I meant, now we have data for those two models. But since AU might not even have shops that sell CST, the locally available minicross tires I mentioned can be made by any manufacturer, known or unknown.
