Biggest tire size to suit 82 KZ750?
23 Sep 2019 00:57
Hi just looking to put a fresh set of tires on a 1982 KZ750P.
I was wondering how big of a tire size has anyone managed to squeeze onto the front and rear ?.
Thanks.

Stick with the sizes recommended for the rim size.
Going oversize will ruin the handling.
It's either show or go unless you fit some wider rims which then usually requires more alterations in other areas.

Mounting a wide tire on a stock rim causes the profile of the tire to be distorted and does not help traction or handling. Ed
