RZ250/350 YPVS Tyre choices

[exup]

Hi,
well its been about 30 years since I needed to get tyres for the 250/350 and looking at the manual the 250 is showing 90/90-18 and rear 110/80-18. Not much of a selection there when I check online.
I am used to pilot sports but all I see in Michelin is the Michelin Road Classic.

what are you guys running, did you play around with profiles to get a selection of tyre options.

cheers.

BT45 is always a solid choice. But Dunlop, Avon and others work as well.

Depends where you live, I did a deal locally with a tyre place, but it wasnt easy and he was a total nutter and changed the prices on me and didnt order the 2 sets i wanted, he also didnt have valves.

Another place I used were great on price and fitting but were in an inconvenient location and ignored emails the 3rd time i was pricing. their loss I guess, but annoying as theyd done good work on LC tyres for me for previous builds.

Defo shop around.

Did you stick with the original profile/sizes?

BT46 is the new replacement for BT45.
Go with the tyre size that is ideal for the rim size. ie. 2.15" and 2.50".
90/90-18 51H and 110/80-18 58H

Awesome thanks guys. I took a look at the tyres I have on my RD350 F1 I bought for the bike back in 1991. Which were stock sizes at the time. (The engine seized and its been parked up ever since)
So will look at the BT46.
