Tire Info

Hello all, just wanted to offer another opinion on replacement tires. I had problems finding matching tires for my 05 1600 Nomad (as many others have). I replaced my worn out Bridgestone's with Metzler Me 880's front 150/80-16 and rear 180/70-16. The fit was fine. It's only been a few days but so far they're doing great.

I don't know what you're riding, but the 1500 Nomads had a 150/80/16 both front and rear from the factory.

That should answer your question.

I hadn't dug down to find my manual until now, but per the manual the 2007 1600 Nomad had different sizes front & rear:

Front: 150/80-16
Rear: 170/70B 16

There are a few members on here that run a 150/80/16 both front and rear on a 1600 Nomad.
