    Hey guys

    I am about to buy SM wheels for my TE250, there is the option to have 4.25 or 5" rear tyres.

    Pros/Cons of the two options on a TE? Why would you buy 4.25" or 5" and which one is better? Im not racing, just for street use..

    thanks

    5" will probably barely clear your swingar/disc bracket....on my 511 it was very close.


    If it will fit go with the 5" it gives you a much better tire profile and you can run 160 tires to which there are many more choices.

    Anyone with 5" wheels and tyres mounted on a TE250 that may give me some advise if it will fit or not?
