175x??x17
Hi I built a reverse trike last fall using a ST1100 and would very much like to change out the rear tire for a CT however I am very limited in width (7") so I am guessing something like a 175x55x17 would just fit. Unfortunately I have not been able to find anything slimmer than a 205 with is over 8.5" wide.
Anybody know where I may acquire such an odd size tire?

Re: 175x??x17
problem I found with all the 17s less than 205 were such a low profile that I lost too much ground clearance
I'm runnin a 205/50-17 General Altimax Arctic on my V-strom. the 205/50 is only 2.5mm shorter than the stock 150/70-17
