Excuse the noob question. I have to replace the tires on my bike. I have the original tires with just over 5000 miles on them.

Will these fit on the rear?

Thanks.

Scott, I might have a easy fix for you. I have a wheel with a new BT45 tire. used to roll frame around the garage. I used a different wheel/tire so this one is sitting idle. kor223@aol.com lets talk! Thanks-Neil

The 150 / 70 / 18 will fit the rear but it's a pretty tall tire. I know people have run them but I can't recall any specific feedback as to handling characteristics of the taller tire on a sport bike. A 150 / 60 /18 is a better profile for our bikes but if you are using it as a commuter with no agressive runs through the twisties I say go for it..

Might just go ahead with the Shinko 006 Podium tires. I can get a set for under $200.
