Y'all are amazing, thank you so much for these helpful replies! I didn't realize the brake calipers may not fit new rim, that makes sense.

I'll take y'alls advice and get some dual sport tires to start. HOWEVER, y'all need to talk me down from the Heidenau K60 Scout instead of the Shinko 705. They appear more 50/50 despite my Mon-Fri commute being 100% street. It also looks like they removed the solid center line to combat the skidding in wet conditions. Do you think I'll regret it, and should just do the Shinko's?

Parts, Mods And Hacks / Separate Dirt Tires & Spoke Rims for Zero FXE 2021
« on: September 03, 2022, 08:59:38 PM »
After testing my Zero FXE 2021 off road last weekend, I'd like to get some dirt tires and rims. That way, I can swap out the tires for my Mon-Fri work commute / fun city times, but for the off road weekends, I can swap the dirt tires. Tons of questions, though (I'm super n00b):

1. Is this normal; having 2 sets of tires like this? I've read it only takes 10 minutes to do it if you're experienced + have the equipment so I'm fine if it takes me 3 hours to change back-and-forth as I learn.
2. What do I buy? I've read on this form, Discord, and others about various tires FX users have used that sound fun. It sounds like I need front and back tire, spoke rims, tubes, and the various equipment for removing tires + adding/removing the tire itself to & from the rims.
3. What _size_ do I buy? A Discord user says your tires have to fit. Does that mean I _have_ to get a front 110/70-17 and rear 140/70-17 rim and tire, or can I go up to a 21" rim on the front? Any wiggle room here?
4. Where can I buy the tire & rim? I've seen most of the tools at Lowes & Amazon, but confused if I should buy at my local car tire shop, a local tire shop, amazon, or a local motorcyle shop.

If there is something I should read/watch online, appreciate those too. Thanks!
