Front-and-Rear Powersports Tire Sets: Sport, Cruiser, or Touring-Pick the Right Pair

Compare four new street-motorcycle front/rear tire sets by listed price, wheel format, and construction details to find the pairing that fits your riding style.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Quick take

A front-and-rear powersports tire set has to match your wheel format before it can match your riding style. The four new street-motorcycle sets here fall into three distinct front/rear wheel formats, so the listed-price difference is only part of the decision. Each set pairs a different format with different construction details.

Pirelli 120/70ZR17 180/55ZR17 Diablo Rosso II Motorcycle Tires Set Front Rear

Pirelli 120/70ZR17 180/55ZR17 Diablo Rosso II Motorcycle Tires Set Front Rear

The Pirelli Diablo Rosso II set is listed at USD 289.99 and brings a 120/70ZR17 front tire with a 180/55ZR17 rear. It is the only 17-inch front/rear combination in this group. The set carries a W speed rating, and the dual-compound rear tire uses a harder center with softer shoulders, which pairs with a slick shoulder area for full-lean grip. If your street motorcycle uses 17-inch wheels in those proportions, this is the set that fits that profile. The trade-off is that the 17-inch sizing does not line up with the 19-inch front / 16-inch rear format used by the Shinko and Kenda sets.

Shinko 777 100/90-19 130/90-16 Tire Set HD Front Rear Motorcycle Tires

Shinko 777 100/90-19 130/90-16 Tire Set HD Front Rear Motorcycle Tires

The Shinko 777 HD set is listed at USD 245.57 and covers a 100/90-19 front tire with a 130/90-16 rear. The HD (Heavy Duty) version in the title points to a reinforced carcass and aramid belt, giving the set a more planted, stable feel. The tread design includes functional siping and grooves for wet and dry riding. At this price, it sits between the Kenda and Pirelli sets in this group. The limitation is sizing: if your wheels are built around the 17-inch format, the Shinko's 19/16-inch format will not be the match.

Dunlop D402 MT90B16 MU85B16 Front Rear Tire Set Motorcycle Tires Harley Davidson

Dunlop D402 MT90B16 MU85B16 Front Rear Tire Set Motorcycle Tires Harley Davidson

The Dunlop D402 set is the highest listed price in this group at USD 443.98. It uses an MT90B16 front tire and an MU85B16 rear, which makes it the only 16-inch front/rear combination here. The set includes an H speed rating, Harley-Davidson sidewall branding, and a three-ply polyester casing with two fiberglass belts for a stable touring feel. If you want the touring-oriented construction and the sidewall look, this is the set to consider. The limitation for many shoppers will be the price: it sits well above the other sets' listed prices, and the 16-inch front sizing is distinct from the 17-inch Pirelli and the 19/16-inch pairs.

Kenda K671 100/90-19 130/90-16 Front Rear Tire Set Motorcycle Tires

Kenda K671 100/90-19 130/90-16 Front Rear Tire Set Motorcycle Tires

The Kenda K671 set has the lowest listed price in this group at USD 199.99. It uses a 100/90-19 front tire and a 130/90-16 rear, matching the Shinko's format. The set carries an H-rated speed index, a 6-ply-rated carcass, and deep, offset tread sipes for wet-weather traction. If the 19/16-inch format works for your bike, the lower listed price gives it a clear place in the decision. As a limitation, it does not include the 17-inch sizing of the Pirelli set, so it will not be a substitute for that wheel format.

Final recommendation by use case

Start with the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II if you need the 17-inch set, the Shinko 777 HD or Kenda K671 if you need the 19/16-inch format, and the Dunlop D402 if you need the 16-inch touring set.
