| Re: Can I use bigger tires?
My bike was offered with a 5 inch or a 5.5 inch rear wheel both with 170mm rear tires stock. The more common 5 inch cast wheel is what I have, and the other one is heavy and expensive. I am running 180's on my rear. I went to 180's since there isn't much of a tire choice in 170. Before I chose 180's I also thought about running 160's. Using the advice of people that competed with my bike before, I went with the 180 rear.
The long and the short of this is... there isn't much of a tire choice in 170mm. I would probably stick with the 160. |
