Anyone using a wide 19" front tire?

woodsnwater · 12-17-2023, 10:13 PM

I plan on mounting a nice wide front tire on the Brozz Recon 250. Riding mostly off-road but want DOT legal. Looks like a Kenda K760 trakmaster will help with floating over the soft ground. 120/90-19 is what I plan on using.
The design of the front rim is what I'm concerned about for the tire bead to set in properly.
Anyone else ever tried this before?

The Bashan Brozz are 19", right? Should be readily accessible online somewhere.

Jeff (Peace Sports) started selling either Brozz or Recon (or both) with full sized 21"front tire in early '22, or even in '21. But before that, Storm, Brozz and Recons were all 19", 17 (front, rear). My Storm has the 19" front wheel. As I recall, it took a 110/90 no problem. I will verify when I see it tomorrow, but the rim is wide enough on the Storm.

What size is the OEM dual sport tire on there. I thought I got the same size.

I don't want a taller (21") front rim I want a Wider / Fat front tire for better flotation off road. OEM front tire is 80/100-19. The Kenda tire I want to use is about 3" wider and will also add to the height.

My new wider and fatter front tire. It made a huge difference floating over the soft sand and mud. Happy New Year!!

Yes 19" front rim. Not a question of being readily accessible. Fitting a Much larger tire on a narrow rim is my question.

Cool! Looks great. Is that a 19" wheel? Rear tire on the front!? Good idea!

Yes, the stock rims for the 2020 models are 17" rear and 19" front. That is a 19" rear tire on the front. Getting a larger rear tire, 130/90-17 and that should even out the look. Also have a 15/50 sprocket setup for better off-roading.

Nice set up! I like the Recon. I have a Bashan Storm which has the same inverted forks, same wheels, and lots of other identical parts. It is really a dependable bike.
