Some people said they actually bought those exact tires in those exact sizes and successfully installed them on their hawk. Other people, and I think one was the Moderator SpudRider, said that the rear tire size would NOT fit the rear wheel of the hawk; that tire size was made for wider tires. So, now I'm pretty confused.

I'm not sure if the stock tire sizes are the same for the Hawk as they are for the Enforcer, but my current stock tires are:

Front: 80/100 21 (the tire also says STD Rim 1.85)
Rear: 110/100 18 (the tire also says STD Rim 2.50)

Again, I'm looking for a street tire, either 80/20 street/dirt or full street.

Please help with tire suggests (make, model, and size).



Thanks,

I think you will be ok with the front tire you are looking at, but the rear at 120 mm wide is apt to interfere with the drive chain. Those rim sizes were originally for 2.75 X 21 on the front, and 4.00 X 18 rear...ARH
