Austone rubbing badly on 2000 Goldwing
This newbie wants to know if there's a fix for an Austone 175R16 rubbing real bad on the rear inner fender of a 2000 Goldwing 1500 SE or do I just cut my losses and replace with a CT that fits. If so, then please tell me what fits without losing height. This is a sidecar rig that I just bought and I thought that I had done my homework, apparently not. All help very much appreciated.

What size tire are you running ? I have a Dunlop WinterSport on my 1999 Gl1500 (175/60/16) with no problems at all.

The Austone is a 78 series tire I think so its about 26.9" tall. A 175/60-16 is only around 24.3" tall.

If it's rubbing on the right side? Some one here said that it's the inter fender by the battery and it can br moved using wire ties but I can't remember were I seen it.

Taxi tire rubbing on rear fender 1500 Goldwing
Many, many thanks for all the great advice. I did a search on Austone and it took me to the thread where I first found the tire and followed it to some interesting info from Sailbeer. He had problems with the pins holding the mudflap to the rear fender. I'll give all of the info to the Honda tech and hopefully correct the problem. The tire is about 2" inches higher than a 175/60-16, but a lot of riders with 1500's use it, so there must be a fix. Again, thank you all for the advice and the warm welcome.
