Rear White Wall Tire

**biscuitsngravy** · 10-03-2008, 12:40 AM

Would anyone know where I could buy a 170/70-16 white wall rear tire for my 06 Nomad? I've searched the web to no avail. Maybe someone had better luck than me.

Thanks,

i would post in the for/sale wanted section. I know racinchef has wide white walls, not sure what size.

They don't make one . I think you have to go one size up or one down .

Probably down. I think Metzler has one.

The Metzeler is a 150/80/16 WWW, I don't think anyone makes a wider tire.

I put a Metzler on the rear. Had to go with a blackwall. I went up a size equivalent to a 180/80/16. I rode it home yesterday. It sure handled nice. It sits a bit higher and don't know how it will affect the speedometer. The tire is wider than stock. It was cold riding yesterday. Real windy too. Temperature is 15 degrees right now at 11pm here in Gowrie, IA. BnG

You are tougher than I.

15 degrees... I have the heat on full blast... sitting at home in front of the fire.

PS: Nice crappie in the pics.
