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.

Pretty sure Avon tires still has the old measurements.

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.
