Default Widest tire for FLSS?!

Hey there. I love the breakouts 240 Tire and I was wondering what the largest size I could put on my FLSS with the stock fender and everything. Thanks in advanced!!

Some brands of 160 will fit, do a search this has been talked about a lot in the past. Honestly, the slim handles great because of the skinny rear tire, its pretty much the hallmark of the design of the chassis. If you want a big fat rear tire, might as well sell and buy a breakout, but big tires handle like ****. They look cool though!

Here's an old thread on the subject...
At best you're looking at a 160.

^ this. Without any issues - 150 - looks better imho and not issues with fitment.

As much as I love the breakout, I just liked the slim S a little more overall. I don't need a 240 tire, just a little more mm to fill out that rear fender 😁

I'll do a 150 next time or if I go with the switchback wheels I'll do a 160
