My wheels are out to powder and when they come back I want to put a 180 on the rear. I'm uncertain about a couple of things.

Should I be looking for a 180/55 or 180/60? there seems to be more choice out there for the 55 but I dont know what, if any, difference it makes

I will be running a 21" x 3" on the front and again not sure what size tire I can run without making mods to fender etc, also I'm guessing it needs to match the rear for handling? would like to run the fattest tire I can without really messing things up.

Thanks in advance guys

 

Sorry, double postd this and now don't know how to delete it!

 

i have a 180/55... 55 or 60 should not make any diff, just a fraction lower of a side wall

 

Thanks Joe, any ideas on the front?

 

not sure... using that stock fender and a fat tire is just going to look stupid... get a wider fender or run a stock width.... if not that fender will nto do anything

 

If you are running a stock rear wheel on your street bob, you have to get the screaming eagle 180 for the wheel. That tire is made to fit the 17"x4.5" rim.

 

I've heard that the 55's dont look right on the bike, Joe can you post some pics of yours so that we can see, I have the SE tire as well, but they are hard to get. thanks
