Re: KE70 Rim and Tyre Size

I used to know of a site where you could do a conversion to find out what profile you need. I'd be thinking it would be in the region of 50-55, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I'd be thinking if you get the right profile, most reasonable width tyres shouldn't scrape the guards.
Do a search on google for something like tyre size coverter or something. You enter your stock tyre size and rim size and what size rim you are upgrading to and it tells you the recommended tyre.
Kev.
Oh also keep in mind, with a bigger profile that you are running at the moment, your ratios have been messed with and you won't get an accurate speedo reading. With bigger profile it will show that you are going slower than you really are (wondered why people have been tailgating you recently?)
