The Dark SideFor 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!
Needed tires for the bike so it was time to go dark. The front was showing some odd wear too so went ahead and did a set, with fresh pads. Shes good to roll miles for the spring.
Jeeze...I guess I need to get a Newer Motorcycle so I too can get the wheel Size that lets me do That!!!
The Old Tried and True 5.00-16 just aint gettin it..... After Years of Loyal Service...Booted... like a Factory Rat approaching Retirement Age!!!!
Thats a factory 2016 16 touring wheel. Folks have been putting car tires on bikes for ages. I had a Coker white wall bias ply on my old Triumph from the 60s. You only have to get as modern as you want. A Twin Cam is still cutting edge for me 😆 you can tell by my 2002 model truck that I dont care for the newer stuff.
in fact, even the newest iteration of touring bike accepts this wheel so running the proven car tire sizes works out. Same chassis.

That’s going to require Google and a tape measure. I’m sure it’s been done before. That info is out there, I don't have it though. Sorry I can’t be more help for your particular fitment.
