Title: What tire size does Avon recommend for the 3.5" rea
Post by: Rollin668 on March 09, 2004, 11:14:49 AM
Does Avon recommend/not recommend a 150/70-17 for the Rear?
I know Continental and Michilin or Metzler say you can mount a 150/17-17 to the 3.5" rear, but what about Avon?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if Avon recommend a 150 on a 3.5 rim but check out this thread for tire info. I've found it really useful as I'm about to purchase two new tyres soon.

No they do not.  As far as I know, only the Metz Z4, Contiforce, and BT020 radials are approved for by their manufacturers for the 150/70 tire on the 3.5" rims.  There are a few more bias ply tires approved for this fitment though.
