We’ve noticed at Pro-Street Cycles recently, that the amount of enquiries for wide tyre conversions has dried to trickle after the flood of the past 3-4 years.  If you’ve been checking out the custom motorcycles showing up at the bike shows, or those created for the build offs and featured in the magazines, you’ll notice the rear tyres are getting narrower, a LOT narrower. In the same way that someone finally noticed you couldn’t actually ride a bike that’s over ten feet long with some ridiculous rake, it’s also becoming apparent it’s pretty tough to ride those 360 rear tyre customs. Sure, if you never have to turn and you want to go fast in a straight line, they might work, but if you plan to use your motorcycle on real roads where you might run into some twisties, that super wide tyre will get pretty annoying. There’s also the danger those wide tyres are going to make your bike look really dated which you may want to keep in mind if you ever plan to sell it.
