You just need to make sure the width of the new tyre doesn't foul anything - swingarm and chain on the rear and forks speedo etc on the front. It the front has a 21 inch wheel then you might want to drop the rim size on the rear by the same or lower the rear by 2 inches some other way. Last time I had rims and spokes fitted it cost a little over £500 the pair including tyres, tubes. bearings and seals. That was stainless rims and spokes. They are still very shiny.
October 5, 201410 yr Thanks DT! certainly worth considering it lives on the tarmac anyways. it's pretty good at cornering as it stands, bet it would be unreal on sticky 17s. or maybe riding enduro tires for ages on the XT and husky has changed what i consider to be good at cornering. i think it's currently on 21 front 17 rear. going to do some measuring when i'm in the garage next. Thank you very much!
