Tyre size for FZR rear wheel
Hi ive bought what i think is a 3tj rrsp rear wheel to fit into my reverse cylinder Yam and wondered what the correct tyre size is to run? 150 or 160? Size is a 4.50 by 17".
Thanks James

But it's a 150 on the 3XV which also has a 4.5 x 17" rear wheel.

Damn, got a new 140/70 BT090 Pro in the shed I was hoping to use. Too small I take it for the rear???
Got it for an FZR250 3LN which I sold before I fitted it.

150 rear profile is standard across the tj rangeKayla850 wrote:But it's a 150 on the 3XV which also has a 4.5 x 17" rear wheel.
but most peeps run a 160 rear, only problem you may have is the chain guard but mine had been trimmed by previous owner, so no probs

If that had been an 18" I'd have had it off you for the FZRrockTJ wrote:Damn, got a new 140/70 BT090 Pro

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.

Normally a 160 would be on a 5" rim and a 150 would be on a 4.5" the wider tyre is pinched which raises the back a little.
