I was riding my AC 250 today and managed to get a hole in the side of one of my front tires that is unfixable with a plug, now being that it is the holidays there is nowhere to get it fixed. I recently got a new set of back tires and still have the old set. The front tires are 23-8-12 and the old set of back tires are are 24-9-12, my question is can I put the old set of back tires on the front, will they fit and it so will it make a big difference? I just need to use it for a couple of days until the repair shops open. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

 

Yea, it will be ok for good if you air up your rear tires about 3 psi more to compensate for tire diameter change.

 

If your AC250 is not 4x4 the tire diameter differance shouldn't be a problem. However if it is 4x4 then you will need to air up the rears as Boner said to offset the diameter differance.

 

Thanks for the help guys.

 

WRONG guys if its a 4wd & your putting a rear ( larger ) on the front ( smaller ) you will need to put less air in it to make it smaller to match. It wont hurt your bike to run it a few days, it's an oppen diff.

 

No-- cause I said to air u the rear tires, this will make the rear tires larger than the fronts.

Since he was asking if it would hurt his bike I assumed he had a 4wd. But look bellow.
