Tire Question

What is the widest rear tire one can put on a 2006 Vfr?? I would really like to put a 200 on it, but it doesnt look like it will fit. HELP!

 

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Why? Why do you want a 200 rear tire on a sprt touring bike?

Nevermind, I don't want to know.

Here's the first part to your query: Can't do it without heavy modifications to the swingarm.

Second part, please stick to the stock 180 rear. It's plenty and your 6th gen will love you for it.

lol, I knew I would catch some flack for it. I was just asking; first there are no good curvy roads down here, and the 200 is a wide looking tire, and though it would be sweet looking. second, thanks for the info 180 it is.

 

that would be a 180
rim not made for wider tire

 

I had this weird feeling that where you lived had nothing but straight roads!

A.K.A Chopper Land LOL!

But their must be someplace close by for trackdays?

yeah, what they said
awesome paint job mate!

 

what are the stock tire sizes?

 

n/m, i found the manual. thanks.

120/70 ZR 17
180/55 ZR 17

 

You might be able to squeeze on a 190 tire but it will change the tire radius and its effect on handling. I would just stay with the stock size be thankful you are blessed with even a standard sportbike 180 size tire instead of 160 tires or unusual sizes ive seen on other touring bikes.
