RE: tire size

You can fit a 300 if you forced it on there.

The widest that will fit on there properly is a 170. Anything wider will change the tire profile from its intended design.

Let me ask you a more fundamental question.....what are you looking to achieve??? Why do you want a wider tire???

RE: tire size

+1 abad, if your going for looks sure slap a 180 on there give you that big tire look, you want it to handle like it was meant to - 160.

I switched from a 170 to a 160. The bikes handles way better with the 160. I would'nt go larger than a 170 though.

Denhou...

That F3 of yours looks familiar. I like it! Now I know what mine would really look like with a black seat.
