Don't get your panties in a wad. I was merely correcting your blanket statement of a 140 is the widest tire that can fit a 3.5" wheel. You made no mention of whether it was a front wheel or rear.
Its OBVIOUSLY the rear on a CBR 600 of the model you are using..... Stop putting words into my mouth...
You made no mention of whether it was a front wheel or rear.
No, i didn't need to, I know its the rear and if you don't you are in trouble...ITS THAT OBVIOUS, what are you talking about...? Your model cbr did not have a 3.5 inch front rim for a start it has a 2.5 inch front ..... {but what do i know
}
. I must assume from your statement that there is no wheel on earth that a 150 would be appropriate
Then you would be obviously wrong...
How the hell did you come to that conclusion...? Considering that i am going to use a 160 on a 4.5 inch rim and a 150 on a 4.25 and a 140 on a 3.5 inch rim, your assumptions would again be wrong, maybe before you start assuming everything ,you may try assuming that maybe someone else may know what they are talking about, to assume everyone is wrong is stupid in itself......
I never once went from a 110 to a 150.
I told you after you said "I just need to find the widest skinny tire I can put on this 3.5" wheel" I said that a 140 is the widest tire recommended for that size rim, you said
Actually a 150-80 or 150-90 will also fit. That rim calls for a 5" tire.
and
I can choose form 110-70, 120-70,130-60
So yes, you went from a 110 to a 150 and if you know as much as you say you do you would know also that a 110 tire is wrong on a 3.5 inch rear rim
you have not answered the question of what size tire I should run on this combination.
And i thought,
"i've been doing this longer than you"
Meant that you already had some idea, now you have me assuming, silly me....
Its not real hard to work out work out that honda had a 130 on the rear and a 110 on the front of that model CBR so i would assume that they are the tire sizes that worked well on those wheels, {i'm sure Honda did their homework}, that would be an obvious starting point.....? 110 is as big as i would go on the 2.5 inch front, and 140 would be as big as i would go on the rear.... I know for a fact that those sizes will work well.
I thrive on making things people say can't be done possible.
Good for you, i didn't say anything couldn't be done ....
The only thing i said you 'shouldn't do" not "can't be done" is fit incorrect size tires.
someone that doesn't know better puts oversized tires on the wrong rims, if thats what that statement refers too, apart from that I have no idea of the relevance of that statement at all. do a search and look at what i'm doing with my bikes dude, 43mm forks, custom triple clamps to retain the correct offset and trail, wide rims, modified alloy swingarms , bigger brakes, fuel injection and piles more. Maybe before you make your self look more ridiculous you should do a forum search about suspension and frame mods on these old bikes, you will then find out that, indeed i do know a bit about suspension set up and performance {that includes wheels}. I'm out of this thread now as it is clear you are just trying to be a tool, where as, i was trying to help....
