whats the largest width tyre you can fit?
i have a 2006 pointy and will need to get a new tyre soon.
i have a friend who works at triumph and can get them cheap, but only in certain sizes. i think he said he can get a 190 wide for the rear, but am unsure if it will fit. whats the largest that will fit? i have a standard rim, and dont want to have the cost of a new rim as it defeats the object of a cheap tyre.... is there any size charts or anything to tell you what size will fit? i know there are some for car sizes etc.. any help would be awsome.... |

Without making a new thread, will a 180/50 fit? Getting a new one tomorrow and need to know asap! I've read on here somewhere it will. Just wanting to make sure!

Re: whats the largest width tyre you can fit?
No it won't fit, the rear wheel is only 4.5" wide, to run a 180 tyre you need a 5.5" wide rear wheel, as a minimum.
Fitting a tyre that is too wide for the rim will alter the profile and not in any beneficial way. |
