madrab

Hey guys, im in a bit of a quandry, toto needs new tires & i have been looking @ different types for her (1996 honda xrv750 africa twin)

need
90/90-21 54S for the front
140/80-R17 69H for the rear

i mostly understand the codes (thanks your wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code) but i have been looking at this page http://www.xrv.org.uk/tyre_poll/tyre_poll_results.php which seem to recomend Metzeler Enduro 1 tyres

looking at their website (http://www.metzelermoto.co.uk/en_84/tires/template_categorie.jhtml?catid=84END&productid=15370&product_list=catid%3D84END%26productid%3D15370), the code for these tyres are

ENDURO1 FRONT Front
2.75-21 45P ENDU1F

3.00-21 51R ENDU1F

ENDURO1 Rear
3.50-18 62P REINF ENDU1

4.10-18 60P ENDU1

4.60-17 62Q ENDU1

4.60-18 63R ENDU1

not too sure about these codes, anyone know?

Try M+P mail/internet order.I got a set delivered to my door for just under €130.A few places in Dublin wanted €250 fitted.

@Gavin, where are you getting tyres fitted in Dublin? Places I've tried aren't interested coz "we can't feck you over for buying the tyres". They're not getting any business that way...

A mate of mine has a tyre fitting machine in his fully equipped workshop which is dead handy.
