RV 125 Tyres Tires Suzuki Bridgestone

Post by tristan »

Hey Guys,

I live in Australia and no one wants to ship tyres to us over here.... i have been on the phone to the Bridgstone importers and they have told me not a chance....

A few ebay stores say they have them but will not ship to Oz..........

My sizes are 6.7-12 & 5.4-14

I am not to fast on the old uptake..... and am struggling to do the conversion to a current tyre size.....
My understanding is 6.7' is the width of tyre/tire and 12' is the rim diameter? over in Australia we spell a bit different.. lol

Ive heard of a kingtire but the guy wasn't sure of size or any other info?


Anyway all your help is appreciated...

Pricey little tires!

This UK company lists the tires: http://www.bits4motorbikes.co.uk/Suzuki ... tyres.html
A Google search for "bridgestone 44f" & "bridgestone 55f" shows additional sources.

Thanks Jabcb,

Yes they are! Thats why i am hoping someone out there has changed to a new size with current-original rim.... does anyone know of a universal/similar tyre to suite the rim?????

I did email them and they said they want post to Australia.... they do say international shipping on site but they said no.......

I actually picked a bike up recently and it has a car tyre on it, but its no good for getting the bike licensed.... lol check it out..... ;)

I ordered a set, front and back from http://www.smalltires.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Price was great, tires were made 2012.

If they dont ship to Australia, let me know. I am in Canada and could relay?

That's a good find Ben.

They are located in Urbandale Iowa.
So maybe one of members located near them might be able to help & reduce the shipping costs.
