Re: tyres


from having fallen off at high speed [100 plus]mph. more times than I care to remember the only thing worse than washing out the front is a high side ,loosing the back on the other hand is rather painless assuming your gear holds up ,you are already close to ground emoticon emoticon emoticon

Re: tyres


I have a 17 inch rim coming from Richard at Speed and spares but I have to say it was like pulling teeth to get him to go to the bother of sending it to Canada..

Re: tyres


Gil's was the same size as I got ,now I feel like I wasted the money as the tires I'm looking at are same as yours .....how much more room you got with the 150 on could you go another 5mm each side. That tire only comes in a 160 for a 17 incher

Re: tyres


160 would go on m8, but that's only gonna leave you 2mm between the tire wall and the chain,

I was thinking about it, but 150 gives me enough grip so went for that, 160 should be ok but you don't want any Horizontal play in the chain.

As far as will it fit in the rim, apparently 150/60 will fit on as small at 3.5" rim!!! so I'd think 160 would be just about ok on the 4" rim, I'm not exactly sure how that would affect the overall profile on the tyre? emoticon

Re: tyres


I have seen guys trim the side of the tire to get chain clearance ,hope I don't have to go to that extreme.
  The 17 inch is 4.5 wide so the profile should be nice.

Re: tyres


Pucka!!! emoticon

Na doubt you will need to trim it, if the chain bounces and catches it, will automatically do it for you LMAO emoticon
