help: tire ??s - advice please :)

[Shortee]

hey guys, im looking into replacing the tires on my fizzer once i get the funds for it but anywho i have sum dum ??S....

the front is no prob (120/70*17) to find but im having probs finding anything to fit the rear which has a width of 140--impossible! and an 18' rim---huh?:confused:

i know a few of you had/have dealt w/ an FZR so what do you recommend?
I'm partial to Dunlops (207??) and Michelins but um no fitment for a 140/60*18.....:(

ive been told to stick w/ the 140 width but my other ques:
could i go w/ a diff aspect ratio?
and...does it matter if i use a diff make tire for front and rear?

any advice is much appreciated ;)

Bridgestone BT014's, BuyMoto.

I would go with the BT-45s, I had them on my hurricane and they hooked up real nice, try them....



Bill I dont think that they make the BT-014s in that size, but not sure.




like bill said, BUYMOTO

get some Dunlop Sportmax's. They are the best tire you can find for your bike that will fit.

They make a 150/60ZR18 rear. May be hard to find. (???)

ya i got a crummy sportmax on the rear right now....

sorry you guys may have missed the other ques:

FYI, i think the bt014 is the best street tire ive ridden

sarah the rear tire you have now is the only set i could find for my fizzer and they were a good tire. they stuck great and lasted long. your other choice is to go with a 150 rear tire in which most people with fizzers were running BT010's. i suggest sticking with the sportmax 110 front and 140 rear, which is stock sizing. this will give you the best turn in and handling in my opinion.

thanks for the suggestions...
jared: should i go down in the front then? i got it w/ a rock hard 120 and the temporary one is also a 120...maybe illl buy the sportmax's as a set and go back to 110 and 140?
