95 shadow vt600 195x65r15 rear tire fit?
I am new to the forum, I found a smoking deal [35.00] on a new michelin mxv4 195/65r15 to replace my 170/80-15 rear tire
Will this tire work ok on this bike? I have spokes do i need to run a tube? If So what size tube?
thanks frank

the 195x65r15 looks to be much smaller than the stock rear tire on the vlx600. by smaller i mean narrower but about the same height. Should i have gone to a 205x70r15?
Re: 95 shadow vt600 195x65r15 rear tire fit?
the 165/80/15 is the tire,, i tried to mount a 185/65/15 and it wouldn't seat, left it in the sun, left overnite with an unreal amount of pressure in a cage, still wouldn't seat.. my orignal tire 165/80/15 is a federal, and a little over 15thousand miles on it, got it's replacement, same size but a kuhmo under the house now waiting for the federal to wear out,, been on my vlx since nov. 2008

Thank you for the reply. i was beginning to think that because it wasn't one of the bigger bikes that no one wanted to reply, i will install it now on my bike.Otis56 wrote:the 165/80/15 is the tire,, i tried to mount a 185/65/15 and it wouldn't seat, left it in the sun, left overnite with an unreal amount of pressure in a cage, still wouldn't seat.. my orignal tire 165/80/15 is a federal, and a little over 15thousand miles on it, got it's replacement, same size but a kuhmo under the house now waiting for the federal to wear out,, been on my vlx since nov. 2008

70orbitorange, did you end up getting a c/t on?
mark, did you seal your rim, or do you run a tube?
I've got an 07 vlx that i'd love to darkside, especially after riding a couple of darksided bikes.

I'm running a tube, weather here lets me ride too much to have the wheels off even for the short time to seal the rim, I haven't had any on the road issues, only one puncture, and the tire never went down till I stopped at home. Got lucky didn't I.
