A 195/60/15 or 195/65/15 should fit easily if your stock size was 170/80/15, you might even be able to fit a 205/70/15 in.
Pick a tread pattern you like, there are a lot of choices. thumbup

I wondered if the older shadows had the same size tire as the newer ones.
BF Goodrich makes a Radial TA in 155/80/15 that might work if you can find one.

I think I recall that the Kuhmo 165 is the one that will fit all. Can't remember for sure. Might want to just browse this forum. I'm pretty sure it's been discussed in the past here.

I'm going for a 205/70R15 soon! Sooo excited! I'm going to try a Michilin Ice tire. Hope it treats me as well as the Douglas has. Smile

Just a "personal" consideration, I've been running a "Skid School" for the past 30 years, winter / ice tires typically have poorer dry/summer traction due to less rubber contact and a rubber compound not designed for warm temps' .......

'84 Shadow 750 Empty Ok, the time is here

Post  96se Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:49 am

So, I'm looking for my C/T to replace my 140/90/15, (approx 6" allowance) but the Radial TA 155/80/15 only comes in raised White letters (on one side), I can't go any wider but can't find a black wall in that size. Do I have to buy a can of black paint ??? or has someone found another option.
Thanks
