A Volkswagen tire?... not exactly low profile, definitely wide though... Grin

...

160/60 -15...
No idea if it will fit... it'll sure throw off your speedometer... Huh

...
Might look pretty cool, if it did... Wink

...
Pirelli Diablo Performance Rear Scooter Tire ...

I doubt if it would clear the stock fender bolts... I don't have the stock fender, so it might fit my bike...
Hmmm?... I got some checking to do... Grin

...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

Reply #5 - 07/31/11 at 10:55:35 I had that 160/60R15 on 4 '' rim though. look: It changed the transmission ration a lot. Didn't like it. Installed a big baloon, 160/80R15 instead. Much better. Still have the tire.

I am not sure this one would fit on stock 2.75'' rim though. we had problems fitting it on 4 inch, it's really low profile and stiff sided and actually built for 4.5 rim. And it looks kinda... Low.

It kinda pulls better, but you lose on the overall top speed in each gear. You shift more. Didn't feel right to me. I replaced it with MUCH taller 160/80. Plus, It was hard to mount it on 4inch rim, think it's nearly impossible on stock 2.75 one.

SoE

Our Farmers Co-op sells "KUMHO" tires. Well Kumho makes one called the Solus KH16 in 155/60R-15.

Sounds like just what your looking for. I'll bet the Price is a lot less than most standard bike tires too !

Also I got 21,000 miles on the BFGoodRich Radial TA 155/80-15 tire I'm running now , its not wore out yet ! This summer's Dragon Run did it in though, I let the air presure down to 30 instead of 38 and the cords have begun to seprate (shows up about 75 mph) but I'm still running it , just staying off the interstate.

Always have a hard time with pictures ?

use this one
