What is the largest tire I can put on a 2000 Buell Cyclone?

PM wheels or Buell stock(5")?

Some have put a 180 on the stock wheel, most shops will tell you it's not the best set up since your rim should be 5.5" for the the 180. The PM's run the 180 just fine (they are 5.5"), don't know if anyone has tried a 190 on that wheel, would probably bung up your handling though.

There's tons of discussion in the knowledge vault about that...

I tried a Dunlop 207 180/55 on my 5" wheel and really couldn't find any advantages. It didn't even look bigger than the 205 170/60 it replaced.

I put on a Dunlop 180 also last summer and couldn't notice a difference in handling, and like previously said it doesnt really look any bigger either. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r243/formulazcb /CBonbike013.jpg

Check the tire's manufacture for specs. for wheel size, they vary.
