Even if you could squeeze something wider than a 160 in, the rim at 3" would be too narrow to safely run anything wider. But I would also consider the Dunlop 150/16 or avon 150/16, they are wider than a Dunlop 160 E3....don't know why but see other pics posted here on the forum. Next change I am going to try the Avon 150 as it comes in WWW for my RKC.
