Tires for a 2009 Triumph T100 with Cozy sidecar
Quote from Kid Ordinn on October 31, 2018, 5:22 pmI've been searching for new tires on my rig and looked at Heidenau and Coker but I don't seem to find the right type of tires. For one thing, it looks like these manufacturers don't have sizes used by Triumph. The front tire is 100/90 R19 and the rear 130/80 R17 both tube types. I noticed also that Heidenau does not use that same measurements. I guess they're based on inches and the conversion makes weird numbers that they do not carry.
Which manufacturer would you recommend for my combo? And what inches size?
Thank you in advance,

FYI, we are having another batch of the T-100 triple tree's we offer made up, demand is slacking off, this could be the last batch we make.

My front is a 17" on the SE so I am very limited on tires the next one I am going to try is a metzler ME-888 touring tire for a Harley. The 19" sidecar in the front Jay recommended should work great for you.
