I'm wondering if I can get some sticky road tyres to suit the std rim sizes 18" rear & 21" front?

I was thinking hardly dangerous but I hope Hoffy is right. Depending on the width and profile you're looking for on the 18 I know Metzler and Bridgestone make a 150 or 160.

Dont bother getting tyres to suit the rims you have on the bike.
Just buy a new , second hand, set of 17 inch rims to suit.

I don't have the $$$$ yet for the motard wheels, hence the std rims with sticky tyres...

There must be something out there, the Clubman class in Motard racing only allows std size rims with sticky tyres...

Well I wouldn't call them sticky, but yeah roadbased.....
