The info is printed inside the Rider's Handbook. WM2 x 19" front and rear. Tyres are a bit strange on this model.

It should handle the same if not better if you go for Avon Roadriders

90/90 19 front

100/90 19 rear

Sizes are close to your orginal and the compound and thread pattern are improved.
