Viva vx200sn... Want street tires. Need help
so I have a viva vx200sn
Tires are junk. I've done lots of searching. There's not much on vivas. I've gone through the sticky for the 200gy. But I still haven't found my answer. Now my tires are tube type tires Front- 2.75-21 Rear- 4.10-18 I'm looking for more of a street tire. B/c I do zero off roading and I like the looks of enduros with street tires. I found these Shinko dual sport tires which are 80% street. http://www.bikebandit.com/tires-tube...otorcycle-tire Now the rear definitely has an option for 4.10-18 tube type tires. But they don't offer a tube type front for 21" rim. And I'm having trouble finding a tube type street tire for 21 rim I'd like matching tires. And don't really care for the vintage tires or knobby off road style. Am I just stuck and outta luck on this one? Is there a smaller rim for the front that will fit? Do I even want a smaller rim in front? It would probably look weird. I've never had a bike before and never bought tires for one. Complete newb. Please help. |

He mentions tubes in his final post, I just didn't know if you could do that and if it was safe

So my last question would be, the 90/90-21 tire equals out to be 3-3.5 in wide tire right? Will that mount ok to a 2.75 rim and not be deformed?

You front tire might have a width of 2.75 inches, but the rim size of your front wheel is probably 1.60-21. The size is always inscribed on the rim. If your front rim is narrower than 1.60 inches, the 90/90-21 tire will not fit well. However, if your front rim is size 1.60-21, the 90/90-21 tire will fit.
