ya they all are close... I couldn't believe how close they sit to the shaft tube the first time I took 1 off Old Man... so if a Fella got one that has a sidewall or cap that is off by a couple millimeters you could rub easily...Don

Pat, it is the 130/90/16. This is one of those times when buying from a internet supplier is not worth the money saved. I had to learn it the hard way buying cage tires from TireRack years ago. Got a defective tire, they told me I had to ship it back to them on my dime, they would then determine if it was defective and give me a prorated discount on another tire of the same make and model, and I had to pay shipping to get that prorated tire to me. It was cheaper to just buy a new one locally.
I am sure I could spend half a lifetime convincing DK their tire was the problem, but by the time I got done, the headache would not be worth the effort. Like my cage tires, I will stick to buying them from the installer from now on.

+1 thats why I buy mine from the bike shop. Price for piece of mind is worth the extra $'s. Plus by the time he strokes me on mount and balance for bringing him an outside tire it almost equals out in price. I think he does that on purposeOriginally posted by DGXSER View PostPat, it is the 130/90/16. This is one of those times when buying from a internet supplier is not worth the money saved.
