Odd size tyres?

Have I got odd shaped wheels?
I've been trying to get prices online on several websites for a new rear
tyre 120/90/18 and I'm not having much luck.
Is that an odd size?

Not that odd no, BT45s should be available in that size.

You fucking daft bint Your A model GPZ500 has a 120/90 H 16 TL rear
tyre.

16 inch not 18 inch. They never put 18 inchers on any model of GPZ500,
the later GPZ500 D model takes a 130/70 17 62H TL

 

Just paid £86 for a 120/90-V18 BT45 fitted to a loose wheel by the local
independent bike shop. Which is 10 doors down from me.

 

But the OP has this is their sig

IIRC the H1 and H2 had 120/90-18 or 4.00-18 in old money

Bloody hell. Last I heard Cheryl was riding a shite old GPZ*500*S A
model. I hadn't noticed the change to a 550 in her sig. A mate of mine
has 2 GPZ550H2s sitting in his back yard, one of which he's breaking.

My apologies to Cheryl.

Less of the 'shite old' and I'll consider forgiving you
The tyre I've got covered but if your mate has a tank and/or rack going
cheap as chips then you're definitely forgiven.

BTW, the gpz500 went to get a car when I passed my test, and now, a few
months later, I have seen the error of my ways and bought a bike again.

 

Searched and found.
Thankyou that man.
Cheapest I've found on the net is £75, anyone know of cheaper?

Factor in postage and fitting; £86 on my doorstep and the mark up going
to the local chap is pretty good.

 

I paid 90 quid ride in/ride out for the same tyre last year.

 

And they then sold it to Sweller? The Bastards! Did it have much tread left
on it?

 

only four quid depreciation after a year's use? That's not bad going
at all.
