ok guys im chiming.that 240/40/18 avon vr72 is one of the best things i have dun to my ride.i want tell you to do it but i will tell you i am happy i did.
460brevill, are you running that 240 tire off of your stock rim or aftermarket? I have heard some complaints in regard to running the 240 tire on the stock rim. Also, do you have any pictures of it? I want to run a fat tire on the fury but unsure of investing into the sumo upgrade. I would rather put that money towards other fun crap for this bike. Thanks!
Yes please post pics because I am interested as well and if a 240 works on just the stock without any mods, I will dump that money into putting a 26 in the front! Thanks in advance
There are a few members that have widened their stock wheels to 7". It's called the Kosman mod. You can search the FAQ and YouTube. On YouTube look up Low and Mean videos. It will give you lots of info that you'll likely ask here.
I appreciate the pics. I don't mean to question you, but are you positive this isn't the Avon Cobra. According to the Avon website, the Venom is not offered in a 240 and also has a different tread pattern than your picture. Judging by your pics and the tire size, I believe this to be the Avon Cobra. I am just trying to clarify so that I can order the same tire you are running when I actually pick up my Fury. I know, I know. Sorry.
Did it. 240 40 cobra now! Couldn't get it mounted with a manual machine. Make sure to go slow mounting and use an automatic machine. Also the ride will be a much bumpier. Have to soften the rear shock. Just rode for first time this morning. Love it so far.
