My Tire Comparison

Post by Rodney YJ »

Maybe this will help someone when they are deciding on tires. When I got my r50 it had dunlop 404s on it. I put Bridgestone Spitfires on it and then wanted the original size tires so I got some 3.50-18 ME77s. Big difference in size in the Bridgestone 110/90 and Dunlop 110/90. It appears that the 100/90 are the closest to the 3.50-18.

Side note: Anyone want some cheap Bridgeston Spitfires with low miles?

Left to right. Spitfire 100/90/18, ME77 3.50-18, Dunlop 404 100/90/18, Dunlop 404 110/90/18, Spitfire 110/90/18

Size Does Matter

Interesting post Rodney and thanks for the info, I will be looking at tyres in the next few months and would have never thought that there would have been such a difference in the sizings.

Any comment on handling differences between the Bridgestone, Dunlop etc.

Cheers
R42, R12, R51/3, R69S
