does anyone have a 180/55ZR17 on the back of their f3 or know if you can put one on cause i can get free tyres from a friend who races pro 600 but the 180/55ZR17 is the only size i can get for free. Thanx guys

 

No idea if it'll fit or not, but free tires would be great! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

Theres been a few threads on fitting a 180 rear tire, just search for "180 rear tire"
But basically in short, yes it will fit, it may affect how you feel the bike handles (slower turning is a result of a 180 on the stock rim I've read), and youll have to remove the hugger if it is still on the bike. Other than that, go for it.

 

There are a ton of threads on this. I have a 180 on mine with a 5.5 rim. I would check the size of your rim before trying it though.

 

the tire thats on it is a 160/60zr17

 

Are these free tyres race ones?? I have heard they are no good for road coz you won't generate enough heat through everyday riding. Free tyres are good though.

 

True. Also, race tires are only designed for a single heat cycle, or at most two or three. The reason he's getting rid of them is because they don't have any more useful life. It might look cool to have a wide-*** tire that's scrubbed from sidewall to sidewall, but you won't be doing your riding any favors.

thanx guys i think i'm going to ty the 180/55zr17 on my stock rim, the rim has a 160/60r17 on it now, the tires are semi race tire with a medium compound, i was told they are good to use on the street and they have only had 2 laps of quillifying on them so they are still brand new and there pirellies.

thanx for the help guy greatly appreciated,
jordan.

 

DON'T put that tire on your bike. It is way to bike to properly fit on your tire. It will rub your chain and your stock tires hugger. Not to mention decrease your turning ability because the tire's profile is completely wrong because its being pinched onto a smaller rim.
