Gl 1500 Rear tire

I read that the Vredestine Comtrac 175 75r 16 tire is just a little taller (.13) that the
160 -80-16 stock tire. You can use this calculator to see the difference.

I have the Dunlop run flat 175 60 16 on mine now and love everything except the higher rpm’s. It has nearly 10,000 miles and looks nearly new. I will be putting the 175 75 16 on as soon as it arrives. I read that a minor modification to the inner fender brace is required. Ill keep you posted.

For those that want to use the Vredestine Comtrac 175 75r 16 tire.
I have located 2 at Diamond Back Classic Tires 
Conway, South Carolina
888.922.1642 Ask for Bill. PS these are the only 2 in the world.

Just put that Vstein on the rear of our hacked 1500 last year and just love it! Haven't noticed any interference with the support bracket but I will check on it. I removed the shocks, reinflated the tire as it goes in easier deflated and jacked the rear wheel up while spinning it. No rubbing was noticed. Hope this helps, Rick.

I have a 1989 GL1500 and after reading hundreds of post all stating that they have installed the Federal Formoza FD2 175/60R16 on their GL1500's I ordered one. After getting it I felt that there was no way it was going to fit. I took the bike to the local Honda shop and after trying everything, I was right, it Wont fit. It is at least 15cm too wide. It wont even slide into the wheel well.

I ended up buying a Dunlap Elite 3 at 3 time the cost. I'd still like to put a car tire on, but the only size that will fit is a 160/60R16, but no luck finding one.

Anyone know where I can find one this size??????
