What about other tire sizes?

[RevT55]

Ok, all you dark side riders, I have ordered my BF Goodrich G-force and it will be on by next weekend. However, I have been talking to alot of my buddies, and they are wondering about taking a walk on the dark side on their bikes. Does anyone have any idea what size ct you would need to replace a 180/60 R16. We have chatted alot about tire/fender clearance, and things to concider, but does anyone have any idea/formula on how to conver? Thanks for all and any help!

I dunno, what size fits a '68 Volkswagen Beetle? LOL

Some of the Darkside Touring riders should be able to help with narrow sizes.

I wouldn't get too serious about a car tire on a bike unless the bike weighs over 800lbs dry, Lighter bikes might not be able to handle it.

It looks like a 205/55-16 would be a good one to start with.

Tips:

Avoid larger central rib designs. They tend to follow irregularities more so than others.
Treadwear rating should be at or below 300.
Obviously you want a symmetrical design.
