The Hack is due for a rear tire and I thought I'd go with the K tires. Where are you folks finding these for 17" rims...?

If I cannot find one I'll fit an ME 880 however, for the sake of wear I would rather find the Block - K.

Thanks,
Rob

The Metzeler Block K sidecar tire only comes in 4.00x18" size. The Avon sidecar tire comes in 3.50x19.
I don't know of any other available sidecar specific tires.

Bummer, so guess I'm back to the ME 880 for the rear...

I am going to investigate replacing the rear rim with a 15" hoop and try a car tire on it After I measure for clearance and ll that.

All right, thanks Lonnie.

'99 Moto Guzzi 1100 EV with a 565 Velo...

So, yes, I have come to find out that the Block-K is only in 4.00-18 which is fine for the front, I ended up ordering a Conti for the rear.

Thanks,

Rob
