Tire's,how much off speedo Empty Tire's,how much off speedo

Post  bigkid Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:33 am

Does anyone have any idea how much difference in the speedo between a 60 and 65 sidewall ??
I'm looking at a gytt but they don't come in 205/65/16. 205/60/16 is as close as they get.I understand the 65 is closer on the speedo. Are we talking 1 or 2 mph?? Or 10 mph diff?? Question

I went from a metz 200=65-16 to a GYTT 205-60-16.... my speedo went down about .5mph. No big difference..BARELY noticeable.

I got lucky - got the Vredestein on today and used the Garmin to clock myself - now my speedo is dead on!
I also like the upgearing it gave me; still plenty of torque to get moving with a load.
It's a Harley thing.

Do you have a "C" model???? IF you do, you may need to chop the "ears" off the fender bracket and grind them down. I had to.... It was cutting into the sidewall when I drove hard twisties or rode 2-up. (This was with a Metz 200mm tire).

Just food for thought.

Last update for the rear 2000 mile turn to Sturgis all is well. I did find it a little stiffer on the twisties at Custer 's park etc.
Gonna change out the front to something a little heavier. Maybe a rear tire??

Thanks for ALL THE HELP guys!!
