SUMO 150 rear ???
-
Hi guys, i was searching for some new rubber and usually i buy 140 rear but i was wondering if i could fit 150 or 160? Does anyone have experience ?
Nope!
Get the tape measure out. 140 is just 14cm width. 150=15cm, ect. The thing you have to take notice of is the 50, 60, 70, 80, ect marking, which is the profile (depth) of the tyre as a percentage (of the various widths) It can change your gearing…
A 100 tyre with 70 would be a 7cm profile…

@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.
I need my tools and a pile of junk.....

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.

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.
