Tire Size GSA

[donsobeck]

What are the tire sizes and load rating on a GSA? Might they fit a LT?

The front tire wouldn't fit at all.

IF you could get the rear tire mounted, it'd fit a lot like a saddle fits a pig! :D

Front wheel on GSA = 2.5" X 19" -- Tire is 110/80 X 19
Front wheel on LT = 3.5" X 17" - - Tire is 120/70 X 17

Rear wheel on GSA - 4.0" X 17" -- Tire is 150/70 X 17
Rear wheel on LT = 5.0 X 17 -- Tire is 160/50 X 17

Maximum Load on GSA = 1,047 Lbs
Maximum Load on LT = 1,322 Lbs

Even if the sizes weren't so different, the LT tires are designed to carry a LOT more weight, over 25% more weight! I would consider the GSA rear tire to be UNSAFE, even if you get it to hold air on the LT's wheel.

Sorry to be so negative, but for the sake of you and your family, please don't attempt anything like this! :eek:

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I was in the local BMW shop Saturday and they are now shipping new GSA's with Bridgestone tires that look similar to Torrences. Always nice to have an option.
