to be honest no-one is 100% on this, but im pretty sure it was a raliegh red dot
but finding one in 20 x 1.75 is gonna be hard. i ended up settling for an all black haro freestyle tyre

I had a Raleigh red dot in my hand and it's not the tire he used.  Look at the tread pattern in the pinned Bob Haro thread, looks like a Mitsuboshi Stadium pattern on the tread.  Thoughts?

James , Bob Haro's bikes changed that much , i have this pic with the red dot , he is running the 1000 on the back , tuff pads , Type 2 plate , possibly yellow grips . The pic you have looks like the stadium pattern as you said .........Hope this helps.......

Thanks Jay,

Am I reading that front tire size correctly, 1.25?

Pretty sure thats a mistake James , should be 2.125 .........
