          I have it on the rear of mine as they are road legal.

          This there’s a picture in my built thread.

          Haven’t ridden on them yet but they look great

                      @declan Stock tyres are 80/90/21 on the front and a 110/80/18 on the rear metric sizes. Imperial sizes are 2.75 x 21 front and 4.1 x 18 rear, it's the aspect ratio aka the height of the tyre stands off the rim which is the problem. You can fit 90/90/21 on the front and a 120/80/18 on the rear stock rims, but that's as bigger a tyre size you can go to.

                        @ninja I’m not sure about that I was running a 110-100/18 on the rear and have ordered 120-100/18

                          @declan I'm not sure how knobbly tyres are measured bud? Do the sizes mean the overall size of the tyre at the highest knobs ??? Or are the sizes referring to the round smooth part below the knobs ??? Either way that's a lot of knobs to measure for-sure !!!

                          But if your old ones fitted OK then the new AC10's should also fit too ??? Most manufacturers lean towards the cautious side of things anyways, just to protect themselves. 😉

                            @ninja it’s a Michelin “IT” I didn’t go for the ac 10 sorry it’s the same rear I used to run only slightly wider but the front I don’t know about I guess it will either fit or it won’t I’ll cry if it don’t

                              @declan If your going from a 110 to a 120, that just means its wider by about 10mm, as the other dimensions are the same. The wider tyre may cross the chain line, causing the chain to cut into the tyre. Or the wider tyre may snag on the swing arm? It all depends on how much clearance there is around the chain line and swing arm dude ???

                                  @declan Fit em and see if they snag ??? If they do or there's not much wiggle room, then just start her up, tilt the bike over and do some burn outs on either side to wear a bit of rubber off !!! Not the best idea, but a problem fixer for-sure !!!

                                          A 130 would fit good id imagine, I have a 120 on my dt and theres tons of clearance.
