Choosing a rear 16/18inch rear for a 70's styled tx650 chopper

[simplejeff]

Hey guys, just looking for some feedback on 16inch rear's for a 70's looking chopper, a 74' TX650. I've been trying to decide between keeping the 16inch or going up to 18 or 19.

I wondering about how each handles etc, and will be running an 19 inch front. Looking for a tall tyre, and have heard too many bad things about the firestone to go there.

So far just noticed the Avon Safety Mileage MK2's...

While you're at it - any suggestions for a 19inch front too.

Any feedback would be great.

Cheers guys
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
nothin' wrong with Avons, the 16/19 Safety mileage/Speedmaster pair screams 1970's eh?
And Mr. Cheapskate sez stay with the 16" rear wheel because it's already paid for.
