Yeah, I just put 36F/41R in my ZX9R tyres, but I'm not sure that would work on 18"/19" rims. I'd be looking at something like 32/36 for those tyres. But the Manufacturer would have specs on their site, presumably. :think:

running the spitfires on my 75 H1 and it handles pretty good ( good enough to drag exhaust in the twisties )

A lot of us have used those tires over the years. I had good luck with them too. I do think BT45s are just a bit stickier. Avon AM26 Roadriders have done well for me too.

What’s the difference between BT 45 and 46 ? I need new tires and tubes. Stock 76 KH 500. Just general riding. Where can I find them? I’m near Sacramento, CA. Thanks

As far as I know, the BT46 is just the new version, but maybe someone here has had experience and can tell you more.

24/24 on mine, but......COLD

I am looking for tubed rims on tubeless tires and want heat fast.

Squirts pretty good!

You have to tune them, like the other things to make them work.

You may know "no way" and start over.
