RichNDC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Has anyone done this to their Tracer 900 GT? I am thinking of putting these on for the NEBDR run I am doing in June. There is differing ideas about putting a 170 tire which is the widest Continental TKC Rocks, on a rim that is 180. Is 10mm a bridge to far? Let the arguments commence and I thank you in advance.

RichNDC Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) These are slightly different. I'm riding home to DC from the Canadian border after the BDR. I would rather have more highway friendly shoes. Edited March 6, 2021 by RichNDC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's available in the correct size (which is going to help the tire perform correctly) and is specifically designed to work with the TKC80's but in a slightly more highway friendly format. Well, may as well get both in that case, as there's a fitting front as well. The TKC70Rocks (what you linked) looks pretty much the same? I'm just guessing they're different sizes, as everything else appears identical. Edited March 8, 2021 by Wintersdark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
