Title: 15 inch knobby tires!
Post by StianJohnsen on 02/24/15 at 10:28:20

Hi guys!

I saw a awesome bike the other day, devinsavage a guy on this forum built it i think. He had knobby tires on the Savage, and it was sick!

Does anyone know where I can get 15 inch knobby tire that will fit my rear stock Suzuki Savage rim ?

Hoping for answers!

Regards
Stian Johnsen from Norway!

In Devin Savages post he stated:

The tires are both Southwicks 100/90/19 and 90/90/15 on back.

I remember a thread a while back, that there is some kind of Chinese dual sport bike that uses 15" knobbies....and they are almost impossible to locate.

There are many more options in a 16" size.

I betcha those 2.50-15 knobbies don't last too long on the back of a Savage!

So do you ride a lot....or just want a bike that looks "sick"?

Not sure what the roads are like there in Norway - but knobbies really don't work very well on the street. They make a lot of noise, wear out quickly, and if they are aggressive knobs they will make you numb from the vibration!

Thanks for answering!

Didnt think 90/90 would fit the 2.75 rim? Cool! Actually I came over a chinese produced tire this evening! Finally! Im going to try them out to see how they feel. I dont do long trips, just crusing around the town i live in:) But if they suck more than i think, ill probably go for some smooth whitewalls or something! Just love the agressive look of the knobbies! Aiming for a speedway'ish race bobber:) Thanks guys!
