Looking for tire, help

[JoeT]

my bike has a 15" rear wheel and runs an Avon 230/60 15

this tire

I'd rather not buy new wheels, so i'm looking for a 220-240mm tire that fits a 15" wheel that is not the Avon AM21. The Am21 has a "flat contact area" instead of a curved area. I'd like a more traditional motorcycle tire shape.

Does anyone know of a company that makes such a tire? I've been searching with no luck.

My bikes got the same trouble, only stock tires fit unless ya buy new rims

Good luck. The idea of a 200+ rear tire is that it doesn't lean anyway. They're all shaped flat as hell.

Don't tell me you're one of those guys that stuffed a 200 on a 6 inch wheel? For shame...
