160 on a 2004 FS450e

Carl-H · Apr 26, 2009

Hi, will I fit a 160 rear on a 2004 FS450e? Got a 150 on now but I'm considering changing to Pilot Powers but the smallest is a 160. Will it fit in the swing arm, will the chain nibble the tyre and will it affect the handling badly as I would of thought it could mess the profile up stretching it on a smaller rim.

Thanks, Carl

They make 150 Pilot Powers. If you have a 5" wheel then there is no issue. I ran a 160 Pilot Power on my 2006 with a 5" wheel and it fit perfect. If you have a 4.25" wheel then I would stick to the 150. Pilot Powers run wide compared to other tires so the 150 fits more like a 155 or so.

I'm not sure what size the rim is but I would guess a 4.25 as it recommends a 150. The wheels are standard. If they make a 150 pilot power I will go with that but when I looked I could only find 160's?
