What size car tires are being used on the rear for those of you using car tires? I've seen various sizes being used, but I obviously don't want to be rubbing the swing arm.

I'm looking at going with a Dunlop D251 (Honda VTX) for the front tire and either a Dunlop SP Sport Maxx, or a Dunlop Direzza DZ101 for the rear. Considering others also, but I like the idea of atleast matching tire brands..

Dave, Give Bear a call so he can tell you about his. But is gonna try differant series same tire next time. He has learned something from the car tire he put on the Boss versus the car tire he put on the Rocket and want so experiment with differant series. I heard him talking to our friend with the red one about that this weekend. Our friend has a car tire on his too.

I use Toyo Proxes size 285/60R17, but of course, I need TWO of them!
