Frequently asked
What tire size does a Yamaha V Star 250 use?
GarageDex's powersports data shows the Yamaha V Star 250 runs a 3.00-18 front tire and a 130/90-15 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.
What do the tire numbers mean?
A size like 3.00-18 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 250 tire sizes change by year?
Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2013-2023 runs 3.00-18 front / 130/90-15 rear; 2012 runs 100/18-19 front / 130/90-15 rear; 2011 runs 3.00-18 front / 130/90-15 rear; 2009-2010 runs 100/18-.19 front / 130/90-15 rear; 2008 runs 100/90-19 front / 130/90-15 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.
