@Vcelicka right now I have a 130/70/18 rear but will go to 150/70/17 because I will change the back wheel,all measurments are ok for the 150,it will fit without problem even with the DTR's stock chain guard.Hope it helps.

@MadGyver

Thanks. It helped

I run Maxxis Goldspeed 160/50R17 on my DTR with bags of clearance either side.

@Calum

Hell of a tyre man. thanks for the info

[Calum]

I mean, I'm probably not a good person to ask, since my rear brake carrier was machine down to fit the wheel into the swinging arm.

@Calum

on that leviathan project?
i run original dt hub on 17 rims i was just worried about rubbing chain or swingarm...

[Calum]

Yes, but I machined the rear brake carrier down to move the wheel closer to the right of the swinging arm. There is plenty of room either side of the wheel.

oh..
i will just run 150 prob. to be safe. can you feel the difference ? i just know it look magnificent. What do you run on the front ( just out of curiosity ) ??

@Vcelicka The handling on my DTR is fricken superb! I've had these tyres for ~10 years and they've been spot on. Uhhmm, I'd have to check but I'm not going into the garage now. I think it's 110 on the front. But again, I'm running different wheel/fork setup so the spacing is all different. Handles a dream though.
