Title: 150/60 tires which fit CORRECTLY 3.50 rims

I know that D207GP and D208GP fit correctly our stock rim, another tires like Pilot sport, D207, MEZ3, Dragon evo ... and others sport tires don"t. They are pinched and it is bad. :oops: I have a friend who have D208GP ... the tire seams to be a 145/65 and not a 150/60.

What about the Diablo, pilot race, Dragon supercorsa, BT090 .. ? Is someone experienced one of this tires ?

race tire or street tire?

Bridgestone makes an 096/090 140 rear that fits perfect.

The Dunlop 207gp or 208gp only come in large sizes here in the US.
120 front, 160 or 180 rear.
Are you saying they come in a 145 in France? What about the front?
How much? And can you ship them here???

friggin europeans get all the good stuff.

Olivieeeer,
US markets dont get those sizes. All tires in 150/60 are NOT approved for 3.5 rims here. We don't get 145/65 OR 140/70 size tires, you lucky bastard.

Race or sport tire. You're right James, BT090 come in 140/70 and 150/60. :)

South East Rocket, I didn't receive any email from you. I never check my Free mails, but i did it now, and nothing from you ( or I deleted it with the advertissements :oops: ). Where did you send the email ? Re-send it to gs500e@fr.st

Bob, D207/208 GP come in 150/60, but I said that in reality the tire look like a sort of 145/65 because it is 147mm large ( like my BT92 140/70 ) and much taller than a 150/60. This tire is designed for 3.50 rims. In France there's a 500cc class with Honda CB500 twin and Kawazaki GPZ500 ( ninja 500 in US ) and they all fit D207-D208GP 110/70 and 150/60 on stock 3.50 rims ( Dunlop sponsors the 500 cup ).
I asked for race with my GS in this class but Suzuki France don't want any GS in this championship. :cry: On the Bordeaux's race track, my stopwatchs are 3s from the best racers. :cry:

How much ? The GP's are very expensive ! The most expensive ! In Euros :

D208GP 110/70 : 163 euros
D208GP 150/60 : 170 euros

I don't imagine the price for shipping in US + the price of the tire. :lol:
