Which tyre?

Which tyre?

Post by Sparrowhawker » Sun Aug 10, 2014 12:38 am

Hi guys, I currently have Radial GT XR6000 P265 50 R15. As i have stated i really dont know anything about this sort of stuff, could you tell me what size tyres do i need to get a bit of height also can anyone recommend a tyre for 50 50 to 60 40 in favour of offroad to on road use. And lastly does anyone know of a good company with decent prices. many thanks

That's where I got my tyres from. Good prices and they deliver for free. Not 100% positive on fatboys but I think you could get 31" rubber in there. BF Goodrich all terrains might be a good idea, or a similar but cheaper make maybe?

don't think 31s will fit without mods.

As already said I would get a decent brand all terrain if you are planning on using it on the road.

I will be using it 60~40 in favour of off road. I would like to keep my fatboy alloys if possible and would prefer not to do any mods to make them fit. I would like to get as much height as possible out of them.. Thanks guys
