tire

I bought a 1985 Vmax today. It has lots of mods including a 5.5" wide suzuki rear wheel. The tire is quite worn and should be replaced. I would like to know what the safe maximum size tire I can run on this wheel. Thanks, Tony

Getting ready to ride, notice rear tire is low. Get off, check tire, find nail. Need advice on fixing. Can I fix with tire on bike? Is there a plug that is recommended? Hope I don't have to take in, have wheel, tire taken off, patched. Please advise. Thanks. R.

I'm new here and I've done quite a bit of searching but can fing no difinitive answer to my question. I have the stock whells on my '85 and don't particurly care for the light aluminum on the one side of the wheels and the black on the other. On top of that, they look as though they would be a...

quick question, u guys ever seen a tire slit like this? seems like its only through like the 'decorative' sidewall. i'm going to replace it either way but both tires have mid- '06 born on dates so i'm thinking of doing both tires, but seems like such a shame with them looking almost brand new...

I'm in the market for my first set of radials. I am considering getting a set of michelin pilot power in 120 and 180 sizes. Anyone know of a good deal out there? I'm open to other brands too. I'm going to give the dyna beads a shot. I ordered some stuff from Ron Ayers and noticed they...

Is it easy to get the rear tire off the bike .I have only removed the front .

I was wondering what people thought was the best tires to put on stock rims for the best handling and also what sizes for front and rear? Can you get a different size for the rear that might work better?:ummm:

I know it has been asked a thousand times before but,I am planning on buying a rear ME880 in the 170/80 size. what would be a good front tire match. Would a ME880 front be best or a Metz lasertec? Also is there any problems running a lower speed rating like the Metz ME880 and weight it will...

My brand new Bridgestone Exedra G526 rear vmax tire (has maybe 200 miles on it) just had a 1 1/2'' nail pulled out from in between the tread, its in the right-hand tread groove. It was buried all the way and when I pulled it out, all the air was gone in about 5 minutes. Should I replace the...

Damn..I've been searching for me880's to replace my Shinkos and it looks as though the prices are going up...and up. I had them in my cart for a week at BikeBandit and motorcycle Superstore and the prices have gone up almost 20% in the last week. I wonder what gives? Anyone know who has the best...

looking for some honest opinions here. I always thought pneumatic/electric tire changers were $5-$6k. well the good commercial ones definitely are, and then some. but then i ran across an inexpensive one. here's a local one I could get around $1000 OTD...

Is anyone running a 180 rear tire on a stock rim? will it fit? I have a notched/braced swingarm so clearance shouldnt be an issue but will the rim hold that wide of a tire? Thanks

I have a set of stock size shinkos in the garage ready to go on. Should I go ahead or just run these for a while once I get my bike running. The tread depth is great front and rear, but I'm a bit concerned about the cracking. I know that they've been sitting for almost five years now... Sent...

I like this one because you can view a lot of sizes at the same time. If you don't see what sizes you want, just type them in. If you need more rows to calculate just drag the formula straight down to add as many rows as you want.

Hey was wondering how to tell if you have a wide tire kit, I have a 190 rear tire, I dont know what it has to have to be considered the kit or the rim size is different, or if the arm is notched, anyone have a pic of a notched swing arm and a stock one, or can that tire just fit fine in the...

In addition to my clutch issue, my front Metzler has a very slow leak. I am still riding on it since the tread is still great, but I know that as the most important of two very small areas connecting me to the road I should err on the side of caution and safety. Should I stick with the Metzler...
