VFR750 Wheel Conversion Tyre Size

Post by ludacris »

Hey guys,

Just wondering what tyre size people who have done the VFR750 wheel conversion are running? Is 170/80/17 the best size or are you able to run a lower profile like 160/70/17? And does the size fit as well on both 5" or 5.5"?

Cheers.

it will be for road use...i believe the 750 is a 5" wheel from the searching that i've done so it looks like the standard 160 tyre should fit..
