Tires and Speed..
Stock 86 spree here..
I see some people have 2.5-10 and 2.75 and 3-10 tires.
How do these effect your speed, and, do they all fit a stock spree?

Re: Tires and Speed..
the higher the number, the wider and taller it is. the taller tire will increase topend speed due to the longer rollout. you can fit a 3.00x10 tire on a spree. thats about the biggest you can put without having to do and major mods to the case.plus it gives a better ride due to the taller sidewall flex.
Nothing like getting stroked!

What's a good place to order tires from?

Re: Tires and Speed..
I just put new tires on my 87 this week and went with a 2.75 rear and woulda probably gone with a 3.0 but they didnt have one in stock local. and its a night and day ride.. been cruising easily at 33 and with some help been hitting 35. which is a big jump from my normal range of top 30. so definately worth the bigger tire

Re: Tires and Speed..
Can a 3.0 fit on the front of a Spree too, or just the rear?

Re: Tires and Speed..
3.00 tires in some brands may rub the air box/fender of the spree.
3.00 tires will not fit the front of a spree in any brand that I Know of.
Stick with 2.75 tires if it is a spree

Re: Tires and Speed..
I asked b/c I'll be swapping in a AF05 in my spree. So that should allow me to run 3.0's front and rear no problem, right?

Why would swapping a different motor in the rear change how much room there is for a tire on the front?devenex wrote:I asked b/c I'll be swapping in a AF05 in my spree. So that should allow me to run 3.0's front and rear no problem, right?

What he said.
The fat 3.0 tire can not fit between the skinny spree front forks.

Re: Tires and Speed..
Whoops! I misread what you typed
I thought you had said it would fit the front, but not the rear.
