I've googled them and found tons, the best price I recall was about $230 a set.

A quick example:

Of course you'll have to check to see if they are actually in stock.

Here's another one, I think it may have been the cheapest not taking into account shipping:

Right on Annti. I've emailed with you a few times in the past. If anyone wants some higher profile tires really cheap shoot me a PM. I tried to change over but I decided not to make the modifications necessary to make them fit.

Yes, I finally got the running fabulous! I bought a carb snych mercury guage and that really helped a lot. One of the main problems I had was that I was trying to tune them without the pod air filters on, that's why it was running rich, duh! I still have some pops and sputters for about the first minute on warm up, but after that throttle response is good and the power seems to be there. I'm sure a professional tuner could probably get rid of the pops and squeeze a little more hp out of it but I'm not too concerned because I'm not racing or anything. Another thing I found really strange is that I never could get rid of the teardrop leak I had forming on the float bowls until I put some rubber gaskets on the float bowl nut. The stock fiber washers seemed to always get permiated and cause a teardrop leak on the bottom of each float bowl. I tried new gaskets several times but it always would leak. I found some rubber black o ring gaskets and it doesn't leak a bit now. Also, I put on new fuel lines and quick disconnect fittings. I still run the pump because it's made into my tank but I have an overflow T fitting that puts the overflow back in the tank. If you turn on the pump before cranking you can hear that wonderful sound of fuel gurgling back into the tank. I am sooo happy to finally get all that sorted I was getting really tired of it. In the process, I pretty much did a total rebuild on the carbs except for replacing the jets. The only thing that I'm still really not clear on is adjusting the air mixture screws. I have them set at three turns out and I tried to put them in the best position where it seemed to make the bike idle and sound the best but there is not much difference that I can tell even with a complete turn. Oh well, it seems to be running fine so I'm not too worried. I went ahead and ordered two rear and one front so I will have a spare when I need it. Sorry for the rambling!

Well, I found a front but both these companies didn't have a rear. http://www.tireexpress.com/category.cfm?Category=2247

Try this

I havent found a rear tire, in the eu yet.

It seems a 17" rebuild is the only solution for the the long run.
