Default Rear Tire Size


Question? Right now I have a set of aftermarket rims on my RR. I have a 190/50/17 on the rear obviously ... How do I find out if I can put a bigger tire on the rim? Let me know asap. Thanks guys. Appreciated.

What is the size of the rims? Is there any specific reason you want to install a bigger tires? Dragging?

The rims I have on are the Chicane wheels by Performance Wheels. They are 17 x 3.5. I like the look of the wider tire in the back. The guy I bought the bike off of used to he says ride a 200 on the back with 6" extension. Like I said I have a 190/50/17 on there right now ... If I can't go 200 then I'll stick with the 190 ... Thanks.

The rim can hold the 200 tire. However the 200 will hold up the bike from moving or leaning freely. Just my 2 cents.

It depends what you going to do with the bike. I would not waste such a beast and stretch or drag her; so a 200 is out of topic. Even a 190 also won't be so nice, the best for her will be the stock size 180. Well, thats me!

Don't get the feeling that the bigger is the better! Its not applicable for all things! haha.

At least you are honest and admit you are more into looks than improving the bike's performance.
