Frequently asked

What tire size does a Kawasaki VN 1600 Mean Streak use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki VN 1600 Mean Streak runs a 130/70-R17 front tire and a 170/60-R17 rear tire.

What do the tire numbers mean?

A size like 130/70-R17 reads as tread width (mm) / aspect ratio (% of width) - rim diameter (in). Match all three so the tire fits the rim and clears the swingarm and fender.

Can I fit a different tire size?

Stick to the stock size - it's matched to the rim width, speedometer, and handling. A wider tire can rub the swingarm or fender and throws off the speedo, so only deviate on a shop's advice.
