biggest rear tire mean streak

genes · 05-11-2004

I would like to know which would be the biggest rear tire that fit my 2002 mean streak without making any modification to rim and swing arm, thank you for your help!

180 will fit - you can even go 200 on a 5" wheel but you can't air it up till its on the bike
and a 200 will only get taller and ends up looking like a 180

i still don't think there is any perfromance gain just looks

A friend of mine went to a 200 on his....it fit....but was having problems with the bike wanting to stand up in the corners...went to a 190...every thing is good. Dont want to loose the handling....it half the draw to the mean streak
