With or without modifications to the bike?

 

Without modifications to the bike

 

A Metzler ME880 or Avon Venom 160/80-16 will go in. A Dunlop 401/402 series 160 won't fit.

 

Thanks CHarley and everyone else

 

down and to the point. Thanks!

 

You can see a pic of the 160 Metz I installed in THIS THREAD.

160 is the width, 16 is the rim size whats the 80? height?

 

Basically, if indicates the height of the sidewall. The second number in 160/80-16 is actually what's called the tire's aspect ratio or profile. It's a ratio of sidewall height to tire width.
