WallyB Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm ready to order new tires for my 1978 DT175 and would like to upgrade the rear tire size from the 3.50-18 to a 4.10-18. Would anyone happen to know if I'll have a clearence problem with the larger tire? Thanks, WallyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
