What different size tires can I use?
As a general rule, you want replacement tires that are within 3 percent of the diameter (height) measurement of the tires originally on your vehicle. The 3% rule states that when replacing tires, the new tire’s diameter should not differ from the original by more than 3%. This guideline helps maintain proper vehicle performance, safety system functionality, and speedometer accuracy.Generally, you don’t want to go with tires that have a diameter that is more than 3% different from the factory tires. It’s also a good idea to consult with a trusted mechanic before switching to larger or smaller tires.The 105% rule says that the external rim width of your wheel should be at least 105% of your tire’s actual measured width. This ratio allows the airflow to remain attached as it moves from the tire onto the rim, reducing drag and making your bike more aerodynamic.
