Title: Tire options???
Post by bikejunkie on 04/25/12 at 19:52:28

Hey everyone! I just picked up a 1999 Savage on Saturaday and found this site immediatly.

I want to put white walls on the bike but cant find any. Is there any on the market for this bike or can I fit a different size on here. I did find a 150/90 15 white wall. Will this fit instead of the origanal 140/80 15?

Thanks for any help.

If you put taller shock on then the 150 will fit . I had a 155/80-15 car tire on mine for over 20,000 miles till the the caucus separated a little. Below 70 mph it wasn't a problem even then !

12 to 12.5 " shocks will fix ya right up ! BigZuk had a 150/90-15 on his with standard shocks .... bottomed out sometimes !
