180 tire
#11
IIRC your stock rear rim is 3", for which the widest recommended width of tyre is a 150/80. Once tyres go lower profile they need much wider rims, a 180/70 calls for a 5" rim, according to Avon (a great choice!). Check rolling diameters, as Avon make 180/70, 180/65 and 180/60, to get the most suitable.
