Pirelli webby not listing a Corsa in 18" rear. Getting a ZR18 tyre was the biggest aggro I had on my Genesis. Still a blind old codger made sure i wont need to be worrying again :whistle:

I think I will go with the pirelli's once I get the 3TJ back on the road though. The Continental on the back has a year 2000 date code on it. Doesn't need air in it to stay up!

If that had been an 18" I'd have had it off you for the FZR :twisted:

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

When you've narrowed down your preferred tyre choices, if you can find the information, you could look at the actual sizes of the tyres - you often find one manufacturer's 150 is near as dammit the same width as another's 160 and so on.
Plus there are the model-specific tyres which are usually different again.

...Or just go with what someone else has tried and works...
