rear tires for a 140

Postby Indy4570 » Mon Mar 05, 2018 1:21 am

whats the biggest tire you can run on a 140 in the rear? wiki says some were offered with a 12.4 24. can you fit a taller tire on that rim?

What are you trying to do? 12.4 is as big as I've ever seen.

trying to balance out the 6.00 16s on the front. I guess its a balance between height and power, how much extra does it take to turn the taller tire vrs the shorter one?

I may be wrong but I believe 5.50-16 was the biggest size for the regular (non hi-crop) 140s. They are shorter than the 6.00s and most of the ones i have seen with 12.4-24s on the back had that size. I honestly don't think I'd go any larger on the rear.
