RE: Thinking about a wider rear tire
#40



anybody considered this?
http://www.motobike-parts24.de/product_i...-2013.html

Kineo sells state of the art spoked wheels, with killer looks, tons of color customisation options, ultry light and most importantly enlarged sized 4.25 rear rim.

I always assumed a 4.25 rim can handle a 160 tire perfectly.

And as stated before by yetanotherGerman, a 160/60 18" has the same diameter as the stock rear tire:

This is based on many info I see about the same Kineo products for a Triumph modern classic bike (such as the Bonneville and Thruxton)
Many state the 425 rim goes perfectly with a 160 tire....
Bottom of this page for example (its in german): http://www.classicbike-raisch.de/html/ra...asten.html
"und hinten 4,25x17inch für Reifen 160-17inch"

I've mailed a few dealers that sell Kineo and asked about the rim-tire combo, I'll update as soon as I get respons about this.

edit: some Triumph Thruxton owners who have 160 rear tires mounted on 4.25 rims

So I dont believe a 4.50 rim is the minimum width for a 160 tire.
I'd be happy to get some pro input about this, but it seems to me that a 160 tire and a 4.25 rim go together perfectly.
