Default Tire replacement

Got a vintage front tire for my bike. Never had one replaced before. Do I need to take the brake rotor off before I give it to them to replace the tire?

They will need the rotor on if you intend for them to balance the assembly.

Gotcha, Ill be on my way in a few to get it changed out. Only going with the front tire for now, its a little wider and taller than stock. The rear would be a little taller and narrower than stock so Im not sure I want to do that. After I get the front on the rear may look completely out of place though.........well see.

Alright bolted the bars on, didnt really have them off, just unbolted, so I could pull it out and snap some pics. Fender is real close to the tire, I bet at speed it will rub, might have to leave it off.
