I am confused about tire size.

Andy Chauvin · Jul 12, 2018

No I do not want to start another tire debate but I need a little help. I just bought a 2015 Rocket Tour model. It came with a CT. but I want to install a MC tire, again no debate. I thought it took a metzler 240/50/16. On amazon it says it will not fit my bike. What size tire was OEM on this bike?

180 not 240, the 240 is only for the non-touring bikes.

Touring and Tourer are two different bikes, which do you have?

I have the touring model.

180 it is. Avon Cobra last twice as long as Metzzler, same grip as far as I can tell.

Thanks. I guess OEM was Metzler?

Yes, pretty universally despised by owners, short life, fronts start cupping within 1000 miles

The avon cobra on one site said does not fit. Is that incorrect.

I am confused about tire size.
