Frequently asked

What tire size does a Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic runs a 130/90-16 front tire and a 170/80-15 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.

What do the tire numbers mean?

A size like 130/90-16 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 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2011-2013 runs 130/90-16 front / 170/80-15 rear; 2005-2009 runs 130/90-16 front / 170/80-15 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.
