Biggest front tyre?

Post by funnymachine » Fri Mar 21, 2008 11:43 pm

What is the biggest front tyre anyone has fitted?

Will a 130/70 x 17 fit without rubbing on the mudguard?

Thanks

Because I want to try and retain the front mudguard as the closer to legal I keep it the less hassle I will have...

I think kookimonsta meant why do you want to fit a tyre like that. as in "why would you want to fit a 130/70 front tyre?"
