Tyre Size - Hypermotard

Discussion in 'Tyres' started by Noste500, Aug 7, 2017.

  1. can a 190 tyre be used on the rear of a 939 sp?
    or 180/60 ?

    looking to use sc scrubs.
    Thanks in advance
     
  2. Your rear wheel is 5.5" wide and will not suit a 190 tyre as it will stretch the side wall. Stock tyre would be a 180/55 but the 180/60 is about 0.7" bigger on diameter so should be easy to check by eye that there is room. Andy
     
  3. iirc the 180/60 is wider than the 180/55 as well ( which sounds weird ) ...
     
  4. Not by a significant amount but if you eye the gap and you have an inch to play with, should be planty. Andy
     
  5. Both tyre sizes are fine.
     
  6. Thanks chaps
     
  7. Would I need to do any sort of recalibration of the traction control etc if changing to the 180/60 rear ?
    Thanks in advance .
     
  8. I thought the 939 was 190 width standard....
     
  9. Archive web page says 180/55/17 on a 5.5" wide rim. Andy
     
  10. Hmmm. I thought the 939 had panigale wheels....
     
  11. I believe the 939 and Panigale 1299 share the same style of wheel, 3 spoke with each spoke having 3 branches, but the Panigale wheel is a 6" rim. Panigale 959 has a different design but is the same width as the 939 although has a 60 profile tyre. Andy
     
  12. My 939 came standard with Rosso 190 rear on it here in Thailand
