What is the absolute biggest rear tire you can fit on an f2 if you have the 530 chain, no tire hugger, and no chain guard? Someone said that they fit a 190/50/17 on theirs. I just put new front and back shinko stealths on and i went up to a 170 rear and it seems like a pretty close fit to me.... any ideas??

 

ive got a 19050 17 diablo corsa on my f2 i bought used for 50 bucks 90 % tread .i didnt think it would work but it did its just when you look atit from back the tire is round on top but when it comes to the side of the rim it drops straight down,it doesnt rub anywhere and has got a 1/4 to 1/2 inch onsides .problem is when ilean over to far the tire just slides out all of a sudden but is perfectly fine for non aggressive riding just keepair pressure 3 to 4 lbs lower so center doesnt wear out as fast.ill email pics if you want.iwoul recommend staying with a 170, although a dunlop d208 160 is wider than a 170 qualiifier and looked better,and a 170 or 160 fits properly so you have all grip at full lean.hope this is helpful

 

yeah...a 180-190 will fit in the swingarm but the dynamics of the bike will be severely affected. I ride on a 170 Diablo and it rocks in the twisties.

 

dont know bout u guys but i LOVE the ol 160 ive ridin 180s and they made the bike feel heavy in the turns. 170 felt pretty good tooo though. id say either of those would be great anythig over that and u need to get an f3 wheel.

 

thanks for the advice guys, i think ill stick with the 170's for now, they seem to be doing pretty well. the real test will be when i go to deal's gap to defeat the tale of the dragon this summer, thanks again

 

When ya comin? I'm about an hour and a half from the Dragon...
