redkow97 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 stickboy seems to be the go-to vendor for sticky tires on older bikes. I am pretty sure he's a Bridgestone vendor. I think he was still able to source 18" rear slicks for the FZR600's even. http://www.stickboyracing.com/, or he is on the WERA board a lot. Would probably answer a private message.

fireman_343 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks.. I forgot about him.. I'm running Tz250 wheels on my Fizzer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I've been getting tires lately from RockyMountianATV even though they are mostly off road they have about all street stuff too and their prices are lower than anywhere I've found and if you do find lower they'll match it plus free shipping and next door in KY so it's usually at my door in 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I just sold my 165/120 slick set to Garret at the track Sat for stupid cheap you shoulda spoke sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 165 is too big.. I need a 160 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 A lil sandpaper and chain rub and you've got a 160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I ran a 165 and it was super close.. So much so that when the tire heated up, it rubbed on the chain and other side of the swing arm.. 160 is the max with TZ wheels and a 90FZR swing arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ok... Just found out the 165/630 rear and 120/600 front will fit. I guess the profile on the 165 is more pointed than a 160.. If anyone has any 120 and 165 slicks let me know.. I'm going to buy some new ones, but would be good to have another set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I sold mine to Garret, maybe he hasn't used them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
