Topic: 110/90-19 on the front of my 76 750k -- seems too wide. how'd you folks do it?

[steam-powered man]

i read here and there that a 110 series will fit on 750k stock front rims, so picked one up.  man, it seems wide!

un-mounted, it measures 4.6inches wide, i suppose it will get a little taller/narrower when installed/inflated.  (110 should be about 4.3inches wide when installed).  unmounted, it's def too wide for the fender brace at this time.   

am trying to decide if i should take a gamble and install it, or just return it and eat the shipping.  any suggestions?  thx!

Yeah I had exactly the same problem with a Pirelli MT66 110.  Mounted it was about a 16th of an inch too wide to clear the brace without rubbing on the sides.
I bought a 100 and ate about half the cost of the 110 selling it on CL.

I've never mounted a 110 on any of mine.  Usually a 100 here too.  But then I've never tried a 110 either.....except on the back.

i bought a 110 to mount on the front but it looked WAY to wide.  downsized to 100 and it fits just right

thx.

re-measured, no way.  time to eat some shipping costs.

if you really wanted to put a 110 tire on you would have to remove the fender brace and rig up a different fender if you wanted one and you would have to invest in a fork stiffener also

the best news is that it will climb in the turns and make  you have to fight it

i would ditch the tire sell it to someone that can use it and get a 100
