andy borris Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi, Need new tyres and I'm wondering if I can use a 4.10 instead of a 4.00 on the rear of my MAR 250? I do mainly country road riding and a bit of green laning, so I'm looking for a tyre to suit and the tyre I'd like to use only comes in a 4.10! Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 A 4.10 tire actually = a 3.50 size. It is measured across the outside radius vs actual width. It should still probaby fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 If the 4.10 tyre you are thinking of is a MITAS, it will fit a standard MAR but will have very little side clearance to the chain guard. Diameter wise it is a better tyre than a 4.00 competition tyre for an MAR because the large OD of the 4.00 tyre causes OD clearance problems with the wheel at the forward end of the adjusting slots. The MITAS 4.10 is about 20mm smaller outside diameter than a Michelin XII 4.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
