Are you looking to do 100% street or do you want a dual sport 90/10 or 50/50? (street/dirt)

Zero says your tires are...

Front Tire     20 x 3.0 inches
Rear Tire    17 x 3.5 inches

The 17 should be easy to find.  It is the standard supermoto rim size.  The 20 might be difficult.

I took a look around here...

Could not find much.

Turns up a lot of tires for antiques.

I'll keep looking.

 Search for a DOT front tire and had no luck. I would need that for CA DMV to try and pass the X off for street. Going to try for the "moped" class.

I went with this guy for the front.

Still looking for a rear.

There is a rear enduro tire that I saw at the store the other day for 51.00 dollars and they said it would fit on the rear. Ill go by there and get the make. I just registered my ZERO X in Ca. for the street and Ive been riding it to work.
