I'm running a 18 x 4.25 with a 140 metzler. A 150 will fit with no trouble. After going to the above link I see they say a 160 would fit. I had thought that it would be to tight a fit.

Hi SH, in the site they give you the max tire that would fit w/out doing mods. Note that this does not mean that a specific tire of the given dimensions of any brand would fit. For example for your bike I think that I read somewhere that only a 160 Metz will fit. So double check before ordering a wider tire.
