Re: Car Tire on the back-2nd season
Written by dan.weitzel on 3/15/2016 at 12:00 am

Robert,I am using the BFG 155/80R15 on my '96 PC with no issues.  The BFG is 24.7 inches in diameter & 6.1 inches wide.  Looking up the 145/65R15 I see 22.4 inches diameter & 5.7 inches wide.  The stock Dunlop is 24.17 inches in diameter & 5.87 inches wide.  It appears the smart tire will fit but due to its smaller diameter it will affect your gearing and lower the bike by about an inch.
Hope this is helpfulHouston Dan
