Hey fellas,

I love the look of a scrambler.  I also like to ride in town, and ride my bike around the farm. So I’m looking for a set of dual sport tires, and I can’t find anything in a 16 inch for the back wheel.  Anybody have any suggestions on where to find one, or what all might be involved in a wheel change for the back, to move up to 17 or 18”?

thanks

The Kawasaki KZ 440 C, which was the "European" version of the 440, had an 18 inch rear mag that would match up if you had an "A" or "D" model. The Kawasaki KZ 440B was the plain version and had a wire spokes rear 18 inch wheel.

Thanks for the input and suggestions.  So, what happens if I put a 140/90-16 tire on that 2.5” rear wheel.  The 140 is rated for a 2.75 wheel in all of the charts I can find, but some searches indicate that it should work fine on the 2.5.  Hard to get a straight answer.
