Bigger tire on same size wheel?
Posted: Mon May 26, 2014 12:24 pm
Hey guys this is a basic question that I'm sure has been answered before. If there is a previous post with the same question I apologize in advance and please direct me to that. So my basic question is that I have a 1967 Suzuki a100. It has 2.50x17 tires on it that are probably as old as the bike is. Nonetheless they need replaced and I wanted to put some white walled tires on them but there are no whitewall tires of this size that I could find. I went over to treatland.tv (a moped store i know) and they are selling 2.75x17 white walled tires. To my question. Is it possible to go from a 2.50 to a 2.75 or even higher? Is it possible to go from 2.50 to a 2.25 or lower? I'm just trying to figure out how much customization I can make as far as tires go.
Thanks,
Taylor
