Wanted

Pirelli Garacross MT16 3:00 x 21" front and the same 4:50 x 18" rear. Can get them in Europe, are there any in the USA??? Merry Christmas

I just checked several online ordering places and they had them in stock, but any local dealer should also be able to order them through Parts Unlimited.

I think the issue that Kip is having regarding the Pirelli's is that although originally they were marked 4.50-18 or 4.00-18 depending on the size ordered, they soon came as 120/100-18 and 110/100-18. Mike

Ah, I see. They are no longer made with the 4.50 sizing, they are all metric world wide. You will have to find some old ones if you want the old sizing.

Actually, Pirelli reproduced the tires with the old designations for a while and Dennis Kirk had some of the 4.00-18 until sometime back and still list them as available that way, as I put a 3.00-21 and 4.00-18 on my 78 RM125 back in 2009, but you are at the mercy of what they have in stock at different times. I'm not sure when the 4.50's were last stocked. Mike

They might still have some of the older ones, MT16s are currently only made in the metric sizing new. The first set of MT16s I bought in '06 were the inch sizing. Many places list the 110/100 as a 400, and the 120/100 as 450 on their web page, but when you get it, it will be the 110 or 120 and not a 400 or 450.

Got a set Mike, Thanks!! Had to settle for a "chump" metric rear but no biggie! The Frontera will look sharp with Pirelli[]
