I know this is a bit premature, as I have put zero miles on my new Scout tires so far, but my mind just keeps going as it relates to modifications and upgrades...
As soon as I do wear out my new Scout tires, I plan on going with something a little more vintage looking. Top of my list right now is the Beck 500-16 shown in this picture. The 500-16 will be a perfect size replacement for the stock front 130/90-16 on the 3.5" wide wheel. My concern is the rear. That tire does not come in a wider size, and the stock rear tire is 150/80-16. I can live with a 20mm narrower rear tire, but what about wheel width?
Does anyone know if a 500-16 tire will mount okay on the 5" wide rear wheel?
Anyone else have ideas on replacement tires?
