What brand is that?
The size you mentioned is a full 2 inches larger in diameter than the OEM.

side wall is 1.18" more than a 180/70-16 Yep. A little over two inches larger in diameter.  I wouldn't care for it since it will raise the rear (and the seat) an inch, but it looks good. |

not in that size but it sure looks like the Toyo Proxes T1R I had it on my interstate for a year Had been impressed with how it handled on Misfit;s interstate on an all day on a ride at Inzane a few years ago that had rain and back roads and highways riding. Riding a Cobra now. Pic is from the day it was mounted  |

I'm not tryin to beat a Dead horse here! some will say just get the 205 GY triple T  The 205 is just too snug a fit from what I've seen! Bridgstone is the only other MFG I find that make the 195/80-16. sorry I should have checked B 4 asking.  |

Hey Daytona, it depends on the Valk. I'm running a Toyo Proxes TPT in 206/65HR16 and I can get an 8mm allen wrench between the sidewall and driveshaft tube.
