Re: Will this tyre fit?
Technicaly, perhaps.
Reality no.
It's only a 3.5" rim.
It is designed for a 130/70/18 tyre.
The 150 / 60 is desgined for a 4" (NC30 sized rim), depending on tyre it might deform too much, not many manufactureres recommend fitting that size tyre to a 3.5" rim.
I'd stick with the 130... if its a radial your after you can get pierelli sport demons in the proper size

Thanks for the info!
I've a cut in my rear tyre which wasnt too long new so i'll need to change it. Im going to be selling the bike soon so im looking at possibly picking up a used tyre in good condition

Get a used 130/70/18 (ebay) or even an NC24 wheel with a tyre (cheap)pf85 wrote:Thanks for the info!
