Dumb Question - Tire Size 2005 Fatboy
What tire size should I purchase for a 2005 Fatboy with stock rims. I am thinking of the METZLER ME880.
Your feedback is appreciated. |
hmmm....how about going with the same ones currently on your bike right now?
|
A 150/80b/16 is what came on your bike. You won't be able to go any wider without a wider rim. Fender clearance is also a concern.
|
Metzler has a tire chart on there website with sizes. They have what they call a stage 1 upgrade to a ME880 160 instead of the stock 150 that requires no modifications
|
You can do a 160 but I ahve seen the 160 shred the wiring under the rear fender in the past. I always put a 150 on the rear and a 130 on the front in the Metzlers with the stock rims with no problems.
|
run a 150 any bigger and u can hav clearence problems with the tyre and the guard also tyre can rub on the belt in some cases
|
That is why it is a dumb question.
