Frequently asked

What tire size does a Yamaha XVS1300A Midnight Star use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Yamaha XVS1300A Midnight Star runs a 130/90-16 front tire and a 170/70-16 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 XVS1300A Midnight Star tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2013-2016 runs 130/90-16 front / 170/70-16 rear; 2012 runs 130/90-16 front / 170/70-B16 rear; 2011 runs 130/90-M16 front / 170/70-B16 rear; 2008-2009 runs 130/90-M16 front / 170/70-B16 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.
