Title: tire size
Post by: jermflux on August 30, 2004, 01:44:05 PM

Driven customs all my life, only 26 though, and dig this new bike even with just the little mods I've done in the short time I've had it. Hope to get a picture soon for you to see my shadow airbrushing. Is a 140/70 110/70 combo ok without affecting ride highth and balance?
Is anyone here from the Va. Beach area?

Thanks,
Jerm-i

I run a 140/70/17 rear and 110/80/17 front. Rides just fine.

So I should have went with the 110/80 front?

not necessary. it will still ride fine. a 140/70 is taller than a 130/70 so I went with a taller front just so it would match better. Purely aesthetic.
