What is the biggest size tire I can put on a spree

Post by Trafficjamz »

Will a 3.50 tire fit on the front of a spree?

The rear is not an issue :wink:

I am asking because I wanna put whitewalls on this.

I have 3.0 on front and back. Fit easy on front but the rear bottom of the fender rubs when breaking. It has worn 2 small holes in the bottom of fender, and the rubbing has gone away. If you are not going to put on the stock spree fender, i would think you should be able to put on a 3.5's. Whitewalls on this machine would be sick.

I think it also depends on the brand of tire. I have a 2.75 bridgestone in the front and the fire barely fits between the Spree forks. The 3.50 will not fit for sure dont waste your money. The 3.00 is a big maybe. www.motorcycle-superstore.com has the 3.00 whitewalls for around $25 and they offer free shipping on orders over $89
