Frequently asked

What tire size does a Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star runs a 100/90-ZR19 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 100/90-ZR19 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 650 Drag Star tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2002 runs 100/90-ZR19 front / 170/80-15 rear; 2001 runs 100/90-S19 front / 170/80-S15 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.
