Car tire on a 1984 GL 1200
Can I put a 165r15 car tire off of an old VW bug on my wing? I've heard the bead might be tight and the rim might need turned down a bit? Has anyone done this? If so are there any details? I am going to be running a sidecar.
Thanks for any input, Wes

matter of fact Twin used a VW 165r15 on his VTX1300 about four years ago and didn't mod anything,
just cleaned the rim real good before he mounted the tire.
I know it's not a wing but the size should be the same , maybe the wingers will chime in with a 165r15
on there bike and you will have them tell you a step b y step.
good luck

Wes, did you ever get that tire mounted on your 1200? It would be cool beans if you were able to get it to work.

I'd like to know too and if you could take a picture and post it .
I think it would look cool with a 165r15 VW tire.
