Question New wheel ?

If I buy the 19" agitator wheel for my 2012 SG - will I have to buy a new tire to fit that wheel??

Thumbs up

Well my 2012 came with an 18" front tire.So I'd assume that you'd need a 19" tire unless you order an 18" agitator wheel.I'm waiting for my HD Reaper wheels to come in next week,ordered an 18" front and 16" rear so I know it won't change the handling of the bike and my tires won't be an issue.

Oh I'm sure your 18" tire will fit on a 19" rim just fine.








Seriously?

Yeah it will fit fine after you cut some slots in the side wall.
Of course it won't hold air.

no, the 19'' tire is a low profile tire and will have pretty much the same overall diameter of the 16'' tire. you shouldn't notice any difference.
