Re: 180 rear tyre
Not advisable but it'll fit.
My mate put a 190 on his thundercat (also 160) as an emergency tyre and it worked fine. Just wouldn't wanna be going anywhere quickly on it. |

Re: 180 rear tyre
I have fitted a 180 to stock rim fine. Others have too and it is concluded that as long as it stays properly inflated, there is little danger of it coming off the rim.
The handling WILL be affected though, but it is not like the bike will be unrideable, you might need to feel the way a bit at first though. Especially if it is only a temporary measure, then I for one would have no qualms in doing it … |
