Fat tyres....
« on: 20.06. 2016 08:05 »
On standard rims per-say, what are the widest front and rear tyres I can fit? (A10)

G'day Padsta.
On WM2 rims I use 100/90/19 front and 110/90/19 on the rear but I'll be going back to a 90/90/19 on the front. I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything wider than a 110. This chart shows whats recommended, so mine are over tyred.
Cheers

Thanks for that . If you wanted to go wider, is there any other rims to fit the a10 without too much modification? Thinking  like on the bobber scale.

I've got WM3 rims on the Cafe. 100/90/19 on the front, 120/90/18 on the back. 120 is the max with the std chain & sprockets.
