Hello from Australia,
Am currently riding Vulcan 1600 classic and have just ordered Voyager ABS (2010) need to know if a 180/70 x 16 will fit the voyager as i have a spare one for my 1600 in the garage. I notice they have the same size front tyre as the 1600

Thanks
Turtlemax

Welcome Turtlemax to the community! What year is your Vulcan 1600 classic (or what is the OEM tyre size?)

"I notice they have the same size front tyre as the 1600" meaning both tires are 180/70 x 16? If so, it will work, the main issue is tread pattern, you don't HAVE to have it match front/rear but it is best if it does.

Mike

Hello Mike, and thanks for the welcome,
Vulcan 1600 is 2003 model and had 170/70 x 16 rear and 130/90 x 16 front as standard, i have replaced the rear with 180/70 metzler and front 130/90 metzler, have recently purchased 2 tyres and have not had fitted yet to 1600.
Was going to sell with bike, but if the 180/70 will fit rear of voyager (170/70 standard) i will keep them until needed.
Am currently commuting approx 100km per day for work 5 days a week and ride most weekends for pleasure.
Am looking forward to the Voyager

Regards
Alan
