    GS450e tire question

    I am planning on having the GS project painted and on the road this weekend. I will post pictures when this streetfighter is finished.

    The tires are bad, what are the widest tires I can fit on my stock 18" rims? I am planning on useing Avon AM22 & AM23 tires.

    Unless you've done mods that change around your steering geometry, wider tires than stock will make it handle worse, not better than stock. The best tires for the stock rims are IMO Pirelli Sport Demons in the stock sizes - super sticky in the wet or dry.

      my GS450E is running on rear 120/90-18 and front 100/90-18 on the stock wheels. the plastic chain guard was notched by a PO to accommodate a wider rear tire, it looks like. i don't know the standard front tire size but my fender is close enough to the wheel to kick any rocks caught in the tire out
