The KR1S tyres are a weird size:?
So where do you get road tyres from

110/70/17 and 140/60/18 ( can you put a 150 on?)

most tyre shops like universal will sell em....you can use a 150/18 rear n a 120/70 front(or120/65/17...same as zx6r j1/j2)
though the footprint will b smaller(the amount of rubber in contact with the road)...cos your pulling the tire round more...
i run standard sizes n use bridgestone bt92's

used to get mine from sharples in bolton. but i work in bolton so it was easy.
most places will get what ever sizes you want if you ask for em.

Always best to stick with the specified tyre sizes
Overtyring a rim is bad news and can upset handling and braking.

140/60/18 and 110/70/17

I am looking for tyres as well and it looks like maximum rating now available is H

Choice seems to be Bridgestone 090 or 092 or the new Dunlop GPRa-10

Has anybody tried the new Dunlops ?

Used to be able to get ZR rated Michelins in the correct sizes but looks like NLA.

If anyone knows of the cheapest place to get the new Dunlops Mail Ordered then please post on here.

Shameless plug here but try my sponsor http://www.paddockstand.co.uk they can get you any tyre on the market and its free shipping direct to you door if the order is over £100

unless you've got your own removal/fitting eqpt it often isn't worth
buying mail order

you've got to find someone local to do it for you who will be pretty pissed
off you didn't buy from them to start with

Got offered these from Round And Black 01582 600788

KR1 Man calling. I have a spare pair of clean KR1-S wheels wearing good tyres with loads of life left in them, front: Pirelli MTR01,110/70R17, rear: Pirelli MTR02,140/60R18. Wheels & tyres only, I must say though that due to the weight, collection only. Open to sensible offers, pm me if interested All the best, KR1 Man.

Found this link for the BT92's
http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/en/products ... /bt92.html

It says for a 4.00 inch rim a tyre size of 140 or 150 is o.k.?
It also says total width is 152 mm for the 150

best to stick to the standard sizes....or yor wasting money on rubber you wont use if you go up sizes.....

think you can get pirelli dragons in kr sizes but they r discontinued..though you can still get em at a HUGE discount(got em for my r1....160quid for both.....

KR1 Man calling just to say that mine (described already) are Pirelli Dragons.

Sharples tyres were always a very good firm (Helpfull)
Personally I cant fault Bt 92's third time in a row for me!

kr1 man calling Alan W. It's actually three, as I am currently under the local NHS Crisis Team due to my employers screwing up big time,due to trying to discredit me for wanting to leave for a better job, 'all I hear is 'Radio Ga Ga' etc. I keep getting these weird voices saying: 'Constructive Dismissal' Which can be worth worth a lot of ££££££££££££. All the best, KR1 Man.

KR1 man didn't know what the hell you were on about on first read. "Three", I had written "third".....Thought there had been a slip in the time space continuum !......" I hate it when that happens ", then I realised.
Anyway if you should get £££££££££££££ remember I'm your bestest mate
