Can I install a Elite 3 tire type only in the front and not in the rear?

Wondering if there is some "rule" pertaining to keeping the same tread pattern in the front and the rear by keeping the stock matching tires.

Also for anyone who knows...can I go a little wider in the front?

Thanks

 

I am running an Elite 3 radial in front with a different tire in the back with no problems.
My tires are very different, as a matter of fact, because my rear tire is a car tire. But it tracks straight and true, so you shouldn't have problems with yours.

For the front, there are many folks on on the DarkSide forum running the next bigger size tire, also with no problems.


Regards,

 

Do you still have the stock wheels?

 

Who, Gliden or me?

 

Thanks too easy....

I'm running the Harley chrome smooth rim spoke wheels...front n back...

 

Are they 130/80B17 and the 180/65B16?

 

Yes they are.
