    Any recommendation on where to buy a little larger tire for my motorbike?
    Is F&FO the best place? Thanks

    ?????????????

    :confused: Pat! Surely you can only Fit a Tyre size, that fits the Size of the Wheel, Too big will it not sit properly and may slip a little or am i missing something here?

    Jack, you can put bigger wider tires on your wheels as long as they fit your wheel and the bike can accommodate the required space. I put some on my last bike and my wife's uncle with the same Honda as mine added bigger tires to accompany his bread delivery business. I just want them for a safer more comfortable ride.

    Understood!

    :o Ok Pat, guess I was not thinking Right,
    I guess you mean 16 x 8 instead of 16 x 5 sort of thing.
    I imagened at first you meant from 16 x 5 to 17 x 5 to get it higher and just bigger Wheels.
    Forget I am here :D it is Saturday :o

    No worries Jack. I have 17" wheels and want to add the biggest fattest tires that will fit my bike. I have high fenders so should be able to upgrade to a larger set. But not a high priority at this time... countdown 3 weeks or anytime sooner.

    I found the bigger tires I was looking for at F&FO across from the capitol. Now I can take the wife to Silliman on the bike when the time comes.
