Can anyone please tell me the correct tyre size for my 3EN1 wheels ?

At the moment the wheels I have are fitted with tatty examples of the following :

Front : 110/70/17

Rear : 140/60/18

That sounds right

I think you can get Alpha 10's in those sizes if you want a sport tyre

On the back you can go one wider, meaning the rear wheel will take 150. It is a more common size and sometimes a little easier to get. You won't really notice a difference in handeling. Don't mess with front, the FZR's need 110's. I had a 120 on my FZR and it felt liek i was riding through lard. Otherwise, if you can get those sizes, get them!

TIP: Bridgestone BT090. Lovely tyres! Good grip wet/hot/dry/cold!
