Default tire help?
Im needing a new front tire, the one I have on now is a dunlop mh90-21 d402f, on a thunderstar rim, my question is what is the width on this tire and can I go with a wider front tire on this rim ? I cant seem to find the width # anywhere on the tire, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

John

You have a 90, you could go up to a 100, maybe a 110, not sure on your wheel width, and fender clearance

I dont have a front fender, but if I could go wider than a 90 that would be awesome, how would I check to see if the larger width would fit the rim width?

Tire calculator/based on rim width. What is your rim width?
