Hoblick Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 My buddy eden bought a fat tire kit from SUMO Fats and he received his wheel and tire the other day. he brought it over to me today to see if i could get it mounted.i didnt know if i would be able to, but i wanted to give it a try.he went from a stock honda fury wheel and 200mm rear tire to a SUMO rear wheel (in honda OEM look) and 260mm rear tire260mm tire next to the stock 200mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hob-If you got a NoMar, you can do car tires, too...I did the tires on our G35 and the 255 rears and 245 fronts were a bit of a bitch. Almost gave up as the sidewalls are KILLER tough and hard to get up over the lip of the wheel and even tougher to get started on the machine. NoMar's video library had a car tire being done and they used little wooden blocks to keep the sidewalls pressed down to the middle of the rims.Worked great and was easy getting off.

NeverEnough Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Mannn... I wish I had a 260 on my 900rr.... Cause my tire is really round looking, and that makes it fall over.... but with a 260 I think all my problems would be solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 meh, its no 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRUNDISH Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Try changing a 300... and on a machine like mine you have to have the changer clamp the rim and just change it manually because the arm doesnt clear the top lol.... good times...

ShankroidBeast Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I love a nice fat rear tire. Nice work! I'm bringing you a set to put on my GSXR very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I dont get it.. Why?I tend to agree. to me, bikes with huge rear tires are like strippers with double-H implants. It's only sexy up to a certain point. After that, it's just cartoonish.oh well. it's not my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShankroidBeast Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) If 260 is too narrow you can always go with a 400 from Wellings Engineering.... Edited March 22, 2010 by ShankroidBeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 if 400 is nice, why not go straight to 440 and be done with it?might not even need a kickstandhttp://www.mickeythompsontires.com/shop/productDetail.php?itemId=3188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
