Frequently asked

What tire size does a Yamaha XVS 250 Drag Star use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Yamaha XVS 250 Drag Star runs a 80/100-18 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 80/100-18 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 XVS 250 Drag Star tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2002 runs 80/100-18 front / 130/90-15 rear; 2001 runs 80/100-P18 front / 130/90-P15 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.
