Interceptor 650 tyres recommendation
Hey everyone,
I own a 2021 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 with stock spoke wheels/rims and I don’t plan on converting to alloys — I actually prefer the classic spoke wheel look.
Current tyre setup:
- Front: 100/90-18
- Rear: 130/70-18
I’m considering upgrading to:
- Front: 110 section
- Rear: 140 section
Mainly looking for a slightly bulkier/more planted stance without ruining the handling or causing fitment issues.
Wanted to ask:
- Is 140 rear + 110 front a good setup on the stock spoke rims?
- Any chain clearance, swingarm, mudguard or handling issues?
- Does the stock rim width properly support a 140 rear?
- Any tyre brand recommendations for this setup?
- Would you personally suggest sticking to 130/100 instead?
Would love to hear from people actually running this configuration on stock Interceptor spoke wheels.
Thanks!
