What the widest, biggest lugged 19" rear tire you can get your hands on ? Any recommendations ? This is a 2 stroke 500 question if that helps :mrgreen:

I make no claim as to the quality of any tires.
All my tires are used so I ride whatever I have 8-)
Michelin makes a 130/70-19 = 5.12" wide
S12 XC for soft terrain Retail 133.99
M12 XC for intermediate terrain Retail 139.99
I have seen them for 91.00 with free shipping.
I'd measure your clearance because I think you may rub on the chain :o

I know I wouldnt buy tires parting out like you do :D

Smokin deal for one of your suggestions $76.95. Not me selling, or buying at the moment for that matter, just a good deal.

Chain rub is a good thing, it means you cant go much wider :lol:

Yeah, Michelin is letting small time dealers like me buy them for about that much so the big fish can really kick my can... :shock:
