most tyre shops like universal will sell em....you can use a 150/18 rear n a 120/70 front(or120/65/17...same as zx6r j1/j2)
though the footprint will b smaller(the amount of rubber in contact with the road)...cos your pulling the tire round more...
i run standard sizes n use bridgestone bt92's
:D :D :D
bring a ding ding i'm a throttle happy chappy...:)

Always best to stick with the specified tyre sizes
Overtyring a rim is bad news and can upset handling and braking.

140/60/18 and 110/70/17

I am looking for tyres as well and it looks like maximum rating now available is H

Choice seems to be Bridgestone 090 or 092 or the new Dunlop GPRa-10

Has anybody tried the new Dunlops ?

Used to be able to get ZR rated Michelins in the correct sizes but looks like NLA.

If anyone knows of the cheapest place to get the new Dunlops Mail Ordered then please post on here.

off you didn't buy from them to start with

Found this link for the BT92's
http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/en/products ... /bt92.html

It says for a 4.00 inch rim a tyre size of 140 or 150 is o.k.?
It also says total width is 152 mm for the 150 :lol:

kr1 man calling Alan W. It's actually three, as I am currently under the local NHS Crisis Team due to my employers screwing up big time,due to trying to discredit me for wanting to leave for a better job, 'all I hear is 'Radio Ga Ga' etc. I keep getting these weird voices saying: 'Constructive Dismissal' Which can be worth worth a lot of ££££££££££££. All the best, KR1 Man.

Anyway if you should get £££££££££££££ remember I'm your bestest mate :wink: :wink:
