I'd probably stay away from a car front tire.

socwkbiker · 12-26-2007, 10:56 AM

I would do it in a heartbeat.... but the 1500 wheel is only 3.5"... ain't gonna happen.... you 1600 guys can do it!!!

Did anyone notice that Nico just admitted that his isn't big enough.

That's why Sue's not commenting. She's crying her eyes out because he's too damn tiny!

If you switched rear wheels with one of the wider rims from a newer nomad you could use a car tire providing it bolts on the same as the old ones. Ive seen them on Ebay time to time quite reasonable pricing.

I would not also put a car tire on the front wheel but was wondering if it would make a difference as to what kind of MC tire the front should or could be. Radial or belted? Can you even buy a belted front tire?

blowndodge · 12-26-2007, 09:43 PM

stocke stones are belted and not radial.

**Top Cat** · 12-27-2007, 11:28 AM

The only 150/80x16 front tire Metzler makes for my bike is a belted tire.
The 180/70x16 Rear is radial. I read on here it is OK to mix them so that is what I plan to do this year when the stock tires wearout.

Let's see... all the ones talking about his manhood are probably fake, there has to be more we have missed.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh........so you admitting that you've practiced beastiality was just nico messin' round? Ok.............no harm done......

socwkbiker · 12-28-2007, 09:52 AM

Getting back to the purpose of this thread. Have you found any more info on this?

blowndodge · 12-28-2007, 01:07 PM

Still looking and corresponding with those that are running them right now. No problems so far. I've found a few 195/65/16 that are a little taller than the stock 170//70/16 and fit easier than the 205's width wise.

socwkbiker · 12-28-2007, 01:17 PM

Do any mods need to be made for the 205s?
