Title: Question about tires and/or rear rim options
Post by fabricado on 06/01/15 at 06:42:37

So, I take my bike fishing a lot and end up riding on dirt roads quite a bit. I am looking into putting knobbie dual sport tires on but I can't find any made for a 15" rim. So the question is do any of you know of a 15" knobbie tire or is there a 16" time that can go straight onto the bike without problems. The bike is a 2001 ls650.

Cheng Shin makes a 130/90-15 tire that could work.....I don't know how hard it is to get one.

Are stock savage tires tubeless or with tube?

Tubeless tires, tubes required due to leaky rim design.

I can't see anything on the rims.

The rims has 36 holes in it for the spoke nipples......it has to be used with a tube to keep the air from going out those holes.

The tires you use can be tube type or tubeless....doesn't matter as long as you use a tube.
