Good morning fellow Stryker owners. I recently installed a pacific coast lowering kit on my 2012 Stryker and lost some of my turning clearance with the factory rear 210 tire. I lowered the motorcycle about 2 inches and my question is can I go with a 250 rear tire with no problem, or would
it be better if I get the 240 rear tire? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

There are numerous threads on this. With it lowered 2" you may have to trim the lower belt guard.

I just lowered mine down 2" and put a 250 dunlope on. You have to trim the belt guard and rear frame thats under the rear fender. But in my opinon, I don't like the 250 because it raises the bike up and lost alot of tire width due to squeezing that big tire on the small 7.5 rim. Go with the 240, it will look just as wide as the 250 but without the height increase and bubble looking tire effect from the side angle.

I thought we had an 8" rim?

7.5 Stock Stryker and Raider. The PM wheel I have is 8.0 and the widest working modded rim so far is 8.5"

the 250 Dunlop is the tallest tire of the 2 available. Avon 250 is lowest. Even though I have the Avon 250, I recommend the 240 tires. No messing around with belt guards and not really a bid difference looks wise.

hey fellow stryker owners what do you gain with the 240 tire ? And what profile do you need. I was also wondering about power gane or los.
