Default avon tires
i'am new to the forum so pardon the mistakes.i have a 2000 duece i just bought a new 21" r.c. front wheel with a 90/90-21 avon tire on it. it is replacing a 21" spoke with a 90/90-21 dunlop on it. the new wheel and rim look huge on the bike i'am wanting that same low profile look that the spoke had. any suggestions on tires or comment's on why the big change and look on the new wheel? thanks.

I could be wrong, but I think the spoke wheel had an MH 90 Dunlop on it. That is the same size as an 80/90. That is why the Avon 90/90 looks bigger. I have an Avon Venom 90/90 on the front of my Deuce and like it so much better than the stock Dunlop. It fills the gap between the tire and fender better.

If it is the stock Dunlop then the Avon is about 1/2 inch wider and about 1/2 inch taller than the Dunlop. Actually a little less than that, but you get the idea. Also, I don't know which R/C wheel you have, but a billet wheel will look a little more beefy than a spoke. Unless you have an open 3 spoke design. Again I like the beefy look on the front. Post some pictures if you can.
