Post subject: Rd 500 tyre sizes

After some new tyres, bt45's 140 70 18 and 120 80 16 available.
standard I believe 130 80 18 and 120 80 16. Will the difference in rear size make a deal of difference, it's not a track bike, and I'm not Barry Sheene  What make and size are you running in yours at the mo ? thanks in advance Daz.

Daz,
I've just splashed out on a set of Bridgestone 120/80V16 and 130/80V18 BT45F for my 500 
Not much change given from £180 though 
RD/RZ 500 forum is good for advice and its been mentioned about running 110/80V16 on the front to give better turn in 
I've got no MOT on the bike at the moment so can't give any feedback on performance ...
Fred.

You certainly can get a 130, I was looking at one at my tyre shop the other day!
