I just put new tires on my '87. You can get them from a dealer or mail order. The problem with dealers is that they only stock the high end tires(Dunlop,Bridgestone,Metzler, ect.). If that's what you need then go to the dealer it will save you the wait for the mailorder delivery(3-7 days). Myself, I ordered them from Dennis Kirk, they are Cheng Shin Marquis the front cost $39 and the rear cost $55. They are a low cost tire that holds up good for my type of riding. And most dealers will mount and balance any tire for a fee. Cost me $57 to mount and balance. that's with the wheels off the bike. They charge regular hourly rate if the have to remove the wheel from the bike.
