- R18 sidecar, Nimbus Type C sidecar, Vespas
No, not going ´dark´.
On the sidecar the tractor does not lean so an mc thread profile is wrong; it should be flat. Hence sidecar specific tyres áre.
I already have one up front and it indeed makes a difference.
So, the rear...
Found that a 185/60 R16 should be the ticket. The 5.0" rim even just wide enough.
So what is my issue?
The rim design, more specifically the seat for the bead.
I cannot find hard evidence on a difference which would go against it. Maybe you lot can?
