tire cross ref chart question

[aeronca]

ok here's thye question.  my steamer runs 140-80 17 on the rear per the book. i have a 150-70 17 on it right now. i have found several tire's i like, but not in my size, but further down on there list they show sizes like 5.50, or 5.0 or 4.50 etc... rim size.  how do use a cross ref chart for this? some of the manufacturers list that the tires are used on bmw gs, so im sure they'll work for the tiger. any idea's,    thanks     eric

found a user friendly cross ref chart on web bike world. http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle- ... e-data.htm (http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-tires/tire-data.htm)
 
maybe stretch or abruzi could move this to the tire or parts sticky :) .   thanks,    eric

Good idea.  I quoted your post above and pasted it into the Tire Guide Thread's initial post.
