what the hell is this tyre size?

[ENGBen]

I have just been looking at my bike for the tyre size so I can buy some Michelin Pilot Sportys.

The front tyre on my Yamaha YBR 2010 says.... 2.75 - 18 42p

And the rear tyre says... 90 / 90 18 52p

Now i understand and have found my rear tyre on the website... .blackcircles.com/bikes

But I have no idea where to find my front tyre, can anyone help me out with this?

So far it looks like i can buy them for about £42 each tyre.

As for getting them fitted... anyone got any advice for me there?

I got a quote from my local yamaha dealer for a set of pilot sportys supplied and fitted... they wanted just shy of £160

So if I can get the tyres myself for less than 100... i just need to get them fitted properly... but cheaply. I am convinced it will cost less in total than £160.

Thanks mate.

But what I was looking for is the way to find that tyre using the same website i showed before.

I plan on ordering them both from the same place at the same time if possible.

Never loked at that website before but way people bash on about it I expected their stuff to be cheaper!

using a size conversion table the tyre size is the same front and back on a ybr125 2.75/18 = 90/90/18 and the p is the speed rating.look down this chrat and you will see the sizes http://www.cb450stuff.com/tires/

Fitting a tyre to bike is generally about £30 each, although if you take just the old wheel/tyre & new tyre it's more like £15-20 each

Hmm but that would mean my front and rear tyre are the same size... i am sure that isnt true.

Thanks tho, i will look into it.

Ben have a look at this:

125ccbikeclub.awardspace.co.uk/tyres.htm

Look under the heading: 'Tyre Makes and Models'

The 8th line confirms the above replies.

And there are some tyre reviews on it

Hope the link doesn't break forum rules.
