Check the filebase.

mr = 120
The 90 is the aspect ratio - sidewall height in %
18 is rim size
65 and 71 are load ratings
h might be speed the rating
F-16 and k327 are model numbers

Tire is 3.25 inches wide and mounts on a 19 inch diameter rim. It has a 4-ply rating, which as I recall, refers to the strength of the carcass.

3.75S 18 4PR rear tyre

A 3.75 inch wide tire on an 18 inch rim ......

thats for the J3 z400 which i hope myne is. haha


Those are really old designations. Several of the tire manufactures have conversion charts (sort of accurate) on their websites.

They make really good "tyres" also, according to other members here.

The pirelli sport demons will fit this ride. I have not tried those yet on the heavy KZ. They have worked great on the lighter Ninja 500 so far on street and track.
