I was actually going to order them tonight, but decided to check this forum one more time before ordering. I found conflicting info. 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,

Do you have a size 2.15-18 rim?

If so, you can put a Shinko 705 tire in size 4.10-18 on the rear wheel. This tire is designed for a size 2.50-18 rim, which is only one rim size larger than a 2.15-18 rim.

The Shinko 705 tire in size 120/80-18 is designed for a size 2.75-18 rim, which is two sizes larger than a size 2.15-18 rim. Therefore, the size 120/80-18 tire might not inflate properly. You are always safe if you chose a tire which is designed for a rim only one size larger, or smaller than your wheel's rim size.
