Frequently asked
What tire size does a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak use?
GarageDex's powersports data shows the Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak runs a 130/90-17 front tire and a 170/60-17 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.
What do the tire numbers mean?
A size like 130/90-17 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.
Do the Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak tire sizes change by year?
Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2008-2009 runs 130/90-17 front / 170/60-17 rear; 2007 runs 130/90-16 front / 170/60-17 rear; 2006 runs 130/90-17 front / 170/60-17 rear; 2005 runs 130/70-R17 front / 170/60-R17 rear. Match your exact year in the table.
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.
