Hi everybody, on this saturday i'm planning to start the restoration of my Gpz550 after 10 years of parking.
The current (old and hard as rock) tires are 90/90 R19 52H in the front and 120/80 R18 62H in the back...although the approved ones on the plating certificate are 3.25" and 4.00" ( 80 and 100 converted to mm). Which size would you raccomend me to mount?! thanks everybody Have some good rides ps. sorry for my bad english |

yes, I'm italian, can you help me with my tires size?! I don't know which size to choose...the original ones seem to narrow and they're hard to find. IT: Si, sono italiano, ma puoi darmi una mano per la scelta delle gomme?! non so che misura montare...quelle originali mi sembrano troppo strette ed è difficile trovarle. |

I would go with 100s on the front and 120s on the rear. Those wheels are not wide enough to mount tires much wider than that without compromising handling.

ou cero, ma perchè strette scusa?? è agilissima!! poi non credo che in quel cerchio ci vada qualcosa di più grande... mmhh.....
potresti privare una 140, ma occhio! con le omologazioni come sei messo lì?

thanks kawpaul, I'll try with that solution.
Cucco, that's my first "big bike", I need to take confidence with it. Talking about tires approval...well, I've got to go to "motorizzazione" and ask if they allow me to change size...it would be hard. Cucco, è la mia prima moto grande, devo prenderci un pò di confidenza. A proposito delle gomme...devo andare in motorizzazione e chiedere se me le omologano...sarà difficile |

why the original size is the best?
however the size on bike's book is inches and not mm, so or I'll find tyres measured in inches or cops will broke my *****... ma perchè mi consigli la misura originale?! che tra l'altro è in pollici e non in mm, quindi o trovo le gomme in pollici oppure la pula mi cazzia... |

it allow only replacement with "LEGAL" tires, written on bike's book.
For example: my gpz's book... FRAME: Castor 27.5° Trail 110mm (4.3 in) Tire size: Front 3.25H19 4PR Rear 4.00H18 4PR so I can use only those sizes of tires. If I want to change size (wider or narrower) I must ask to "road traffic office" and they can approve or not the change of size. pretty chaotic, don't you think so? |

la gomma originale è della muisura giusta, una gomma troppo larga può avere problemi con il cerchio. non farlo, è meglio..
sulla mia monto il cerchio 19 davanti e 18 dietro..ma al momento non ricordo la misura delle gomme!
