Tyre Sizes!!!
« on: July 16, 2011, 09:05:46 am »
Gday all,

I am looking at replacing both front and rear tyres on my TM400 (3.0 x 21, 4.0 x 18 std) and RM370 (3.0 x 21, 4.60 x 18 std).

So my question is "What tyres sizes does this convert to 120/100/18"?????

and for owners of the following bikes "what size tyres/compound do you use on your suzuki's"???

Thanks

Tim

On my 4  bangers  MC 5 front & rear   = Tend to last longer

100/100 = 4.0
110/100 = 4.5
120/100 = 5.0

100/90 = 4.10
110/90 = 4.60
120/90 = 5.10

Michelins use their own sizes that relate to tread rather than carcass - basically, they're a size smaller than the numbers suggest.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
