Vmax Tires - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

A few months back I replaced the rear tire on my 93 Vmax. I got an Avon AM42R Venom X Radial and I like it very much. Now is time to do the same with the front. Here is my problem, the original size is 110/90-18 and the Avon match for my rear tire is the AM41F Venom X Radial but they don't have that exact size. What they have is a 100/90-18 and a 120/90-18. Which one of these would be a better replacement without having to make any modifications? Any ideas?

Hmm, anyone?

Well the 100 will definantly fit, the 120 is like a 1/4' wider then the original.

Hi there fellow Maxer !

I also have the 93 - Great year for the Max,

I would say - IMHO - go with smaller one that is closer to the original size.
