Frequently asked

What tire size does a Kawasaki KLX250S use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki KLX250S runs a 3.00-21 front tire and a 4.60-18 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.

What do the tire numbers mean?

A size like 3.00-21 reads as tread width (mm) / aspect ratio (% of width) - rim diameter (in). Match all three so the tire fits the rim and clears the swingarm and fender.

Do the Kawasaki KLX250S tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2020 runs 3.00-21 front / 4.60-18 rear; 2018 runs 3.00-21 front / 4.60-18 rear; 2016 runs 80/100-21 front / 100/100-18 rear; 2007 runs 80/90-21 front / 100/80-18 rear. Match your exact year in the table.

Can I fit a different tire size?

Stick to the stock size - it's matched to the rim width, speedometer, and handling. A wider tire can rub the swingarm or fender and throws off the speedo, so only deviate on a shop's advice.
