Question about tires and/or rear rim options
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.

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.
