Tyres

Hi
is it possible to use 400x19 tyres front and rear ?

Cheers

Re: Tyres

In my opinion, they look horrible and you have to let the rear tyre down and force it under the mudguard to get the wheel in. 350's are a good compromise. Ron

And you have virtually no rear chain adjustment as the tyre hits the mudguard if you try to move the wheel forwards or backwards from the centre.

Re: Tyres

I agree, I ran a pair on my M20 for a while and I had to deflate the rear one partially to get it to fit between the end of the mudguard (with the tail piece removed) and the cross bar on the rear stand...There are also adjustment issues as described by Rob....

Additionally in my opinion, on the road it handled like a Thames barge with the wide front tyre which was also unsuitable for any off road work in 'soft going' like mud or sand..Even the 350 isn't ideal in those conditions, the narrower the better being the case then..
I run 350s both ends as I think at the front it fills the rather wide M20 mudguard better from a visual standpoint....

I try to avoid deep soft mud or deep sand when off road though......Ian

Re: Tyres

Thanks for the explanation and advice. 350x19 will be on both sides 👍
