Motorcycle Repair: Tires for CA160
QuestionI am in need of tires for my running CA160 as the tires on it are literally shredded. What is the correct size for this model?
also would Dream 3.25x16's fit?
I also have a new pair of 100/90-16 in my garage would they fit the CA160 or a Dream 305? they look a little wide.
Thanks in advance! ;-)
AnswerJohn, Benly/CA160s came with rim widths that carry 3.00x16 tires. I have seen people spoon on Dream-sized tires (3.25x16), but they bulge out along the sidewalls and could contribute to either worsening handling or potential tire rubbing inside the fenders under full suspension compression situations.
100/90 tires are basically 3.25x16 sized, suitable for a 250-305cc Dream.
