Hi,
I've a Bullet 500EFI MY2012.
Tyre size front = 3,25 x 19
Tyre size rear = 3,50 x 19
Rim size front and rearI can't find in the owners' manual.
So I have the following question: does anybody know the size of the rim so that i can calculate which size of tyres (I.e.100/90 - 19 OR 110/100 - 19 - ...) i can put on?
Sorry for my +/- English
Many greetings froms Flanders

OK,but how large is the rim itself?If i know this i can calculate the maximum width of the tyres so this wil narrow my choice of types.
I'm not prepared to trial and error by buying tyres and try to fix them

The older rims have data stamped on them, I'm not sure about the EFI but if it measures 1.85 inches across(internal) it is a WM2. Give Hitchcocks a ring, I'm sure they will sell you the correct tyres. (Some Jaguar cars used metric rims for a while and caused problems when owners tried to fit the wrong tyres). It sounds like a similar problem if you can't find the correct tyres in Flanders.

Midge, it wasn't only Jaguars that used that mongrel rim size even Ford out here used them on the top of their range LTD Couldn't get tires for them anywhere. Most expensive looking mag wheels and they had to be thrown in the scrap bin, totally useless
