Hey guys
Just bought A zzr1100, But she needs new tyres. I've got a renn sport in the shed off the old zx7r thats almost new for the rear. Do you guy's reckon it'll suit the ZZR ??? or might it be a bit soft?? also its a 190/50/17 were as the rear on the ZZR is a 180.???

Mate of mine has Diablo Stradas (Pirelli) on his and he raves about them. Don't mess with the sizes though use the correct ones.

I'd recomend Diablo's too.

Welcome to KB.

Did you buy the ZZR off a blonde guy in Papamoa?

I have Metzeler Z6's on mine - great tyres.

The rear tyre should be a 180. A 190 is to wide for the rim thus giving the wrong profile. and obviously changing the handling characteristics.

I would stick to the right size. Murray from Bayride (lives in Kati Kati) is a nice bloke. He should look after you. He is registered on this forum.

Umm...no...I think you'll find that his brother down in Broardlands might have done the "fucking" the tyres. I just ordered them then scrubbed them in nicely. How many Km's on the clock now?
