My M2 has the alloy rims, not the wider PM wheels.

Buell put 170s on the wider PM wheels so I am thinkng of trying a 160 Avon rear tire on the narrower cast alloy rim on my M2.

Does anyone know the recommended rim size for 160 tires?

Dunlop RECOMMENDS a 170 for a 5.00 wheel

I always thought the buells with PM (5.50") wheels came factory with 180's. The XB 5.50" wheel comes stock with a 180.
