tells you all about what you can do and how to do it.

 
All the mods would be required for a 165/90-15 bike tire

Some of the mods will be required for a 150/90-15

Some bolt mild head grinding on the left side may be required for a 140/90-15

Stock no brainer tire is a 140/80-15

That's a full centimeter extra per side - about all the room there is between the tire and swing-arm on the right side is 1cm. A 160/60 is also gonna be 2" shorter than the stock 140/80. That's a significant difference. That's a scooter tire, leave them for the scooters.

You can use tubeless tires with tubes and you'll need to with our wheels.

You will be looking for a tube to match the tire size. Some tubes will work on tire sizes close to each otherm but in general the size marked on the tube should match the tire size.

Valve stem configuration is somewhat a matter of choice. The straight stem may look better, but is harder to get to for checking. Many like a right-angle valve stem, mounted to point to the right (side opposite the pulley).

A rim strip is essential. It is a strip of rubber that lies in the "valley" between the beads, and it forms a barrier between the spoke nipples and the inner tube. It protects the tube from being chafed through by the spokes. The rim strip will have one hole in it that lines up with the hole in the rim for the valve stem.
