Just checking BT45 sizings for 73 Z1

#1 PostAuthor: MaineKZ » Wed Feb 04, 2009 3:12 pm

Sorry - boring boring...... :roll:

I am right in thinking the correct sizes are:

Front - 100/90 - 19

Rear - 120/90 - 18

Should these be V rated? - given that my goggles blow off if I tip much over 83 mph :D

you can get bt45's in the correct imperial sizes of 3.25/19 and 4.00/18 just to let you know as 100/90 are a bit big and they affect the turning
73 z1 green
73 z1 brown
74 z1a brown
75 z1b red
75 z1b blue
76 z900 green
77 z1000 black

Quotes for BT45's carriage is 10.00 for 2 sets , will be ordering mine from here as they seem to be the most reasonable other than importing from the US ! :

Thanks for your query

The tyre prices are as follows;

120/90VR18 £73

100/90VR19 £64

I went to M&P - they're always pretty keen on pricing.

Decided to stay with OEM sizings

3.25 H19 - £63
4.00 H18 - £75

£5.99 delivery

TT100's? - look OK on classic tractors - but that's about it :D

Davy you are absolutely right mate...not exactly local to me but the prices are good so might suit you when you need a set !

I just got quoted 220 quid per set fitted by my local dealer .
