Does Michellin Pilot Sporty has 90/80 rear?

I'm using a 80/90 rear for my TT900 rear.Want to use the Michelin Pilot Sporty leh.Not sure bout the 70/90 profile for the front.

[lost_soul]

chill everyone. relax. just some misunderstanding and some hot-headedness.

 

ash: there is no 90/80 for michillin pilot sporty. the largest is 70/90 as stated in online and i double confirmed with JB ah boy. only 70/90.

 

as for the "lil" argument there... firstly, i think fnee asking for pilot sport. answer to that is no. there is no size avaible for small bike.

 

the pilot sporty that refugee pointed out is manufactured in thai alone and supposedly like the tt900 thailand, to be used in thai only. i am not sure if our sg have those, but jb ah boy does carry them.

 

anyway, IMO, the difference in outlook of the tyre size 70/90 and 90/80 will be, the 70/90 will have a higher profile look and the 90/80 will have a lower profile look. then again, higher profile should be rounder than lower profile in terms of looks... then again i am comparing between the sporty. because u can't possibly compare a sporty with a tt900 or bt039. their threading and design are all different.

 

a sporty is v rounded even to its edge.. while a tt900 or a bt39 is flatter. thus giving it a higher and maybe a sqaure outlook when compared between a tt900's 70/90 and a tt900's 90/80.

 

i think this pic gives a good example though...

as for the eariler post.

 

when its 80/90, width is 80 mm... section height is 72mm... (90% of 80)

when its 90/80, width is 90 mm... section height is also 72mm... (80% of 90)

 

all comes down to the appearance... there if no squarish tyres... if both are tt900... their surface all have the same curve. so makes no difference except for the width only... and the only square dunlop i know is tt100. that one used on RX-Z. or stock wave's...

 

hope that cleared all the misunderstandings.

forgive me for my limited resources.

 

i asked around for the michelin pilot sporty. was told the max size for it is 70/90. maybe you can check and share with me the country of manufacture, model, size, price (all info for both front and back) and where you got them?

 

i would appreciate it a lot, coz i wanted a pair of those too. was disappointed when was told no sizes bigger than 70/90.

 

thanks.
