The Dark Side For those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!

It was built and set up to be a quick detach. It turned out so well I don't know if I will ever take it off. Maybe some time this summer.

looking at 3 options now that should work. Looks like plenty of room . With a Street tugging a sidecar IMO a tire that lower ration would be better than one that raises it. However 1/2 MPH at 65 would make no real difference.
165/65r15 would be an inch wider than stock and it you be very close on gearing 65.49 vs 65 MPH
165/60R15 would be almost prefect 63.68 vs 65 Mph.
155/60R/15 would work 62.36 vs 65 mph
Don't get to "caught up" in the mph thing. Your speedo is horrendously optimistic...
65 indicated is 60 actual...

I have a tuner that will adjust that. Surprisingly the Street was not far off stock at 65mph. I have the 155/60R/15 tire here. The Street 750 tire is a 140/75R15 Flipped a coin and seem like a better option that a 165/60R15 Is close enough for me with this rig. 62.36 vs 65 mph.
Was going to mount it today but got working on making a mounting bracket for a sidecar. Debating weather my welding skills are up to what I need to weld on this bracket.
