VLX Tires?
What tires are you guys running on your VLX? I bought a used one for my daughter and it needs a new back tire. Looking for a narrow tire similar in size to the stock tire.

Re: VLX Tires?
there is room for the 195,,however the op asked about a ct that is most similar to the stock tire, and the 165 is it. I'd like the 195 too, but now on my 2nd 165, I'm real comfortable.

Re: VLX Tires?
so the 165 is skinnier and taller or just asking too many tire sizes to choose from

Re: VLX Tires?
From what I learned here, the 165/80/15 is as near to the stock size mc tire as you're going to find. It's only about a 2lb difference, and about 2mm thinner than the stock tire, but the mounting on the mc rim tends to spread the tire out a little more, thus the appearance that it's wider.Height wise it's about the same.
I put my 1st ct on my vlx back in 11/08. At that time I was the only known vlx darksider. I've got about 25,000 miles since, and yeah, both pegs get scraped.
