('91 K75 Silver 56Kmiles) I was getting new tires (almost spelled it tyres) when I thought why not get the black painted snow flake wheels like my other machine? Hides the dirt and looks good. Looked around and found a rear at a friend's shop. Turned out I already had a front wheel at the bottom of my pile of unobtanium parts. So I ran both wheels through a cleaning and examination. But the rear has a .1 inch/2.54 mm run out side to side. It's used and common sense says that .1 inch ain't going to make that much difference once a tire is mounted and balanced. So I thought to just run a sanity check on my assumption. Any observations or consensus on how much side to side slop is acceptable?
I already received and mounted the new tires on my old wheels so this is another project for the near future.
thanks and best regards
