Default Rear tyre

Hi!
Can I put on a 260 rear tyre on my 2013 breakout without any mods.

Best regards Mike

Although it may have an effect, I am not sure the weight bias on a motorcycle has the same effect as a car. In a car, the mass rotates around the center when turning. On a motorcycle, the bike leans when cornering. Although I do not race dirt bikes, a friend does. A rider leans back in a sharp turn to get the weight off of the front. Again, not an apples to apples comparison because the loose ground versus pavement and the effects of weight transfer and bias on over versus under steer. I am just trying to analyse the weight bias theory on a motorcycle.

A friend has a 250 on his breakout. Looking at it , to me 260 will easily fit. not saying you should do it though because the width of your rear rim.

That rear wheel is the same size as the Rocker and a lot of people put 250 or 260 on it without any trouble.
