CA77 Tires

I know that Dreams usually take a 3.25 x 16 front tire size (I think the rear is 3.50 x 16). Does anyone know if a 3.00 x 16 will work? Will it have problems fitting on the rim or any other problems?

Thanks for any help!

You can still get the correct size here (3.25-16) both front and rear

in blackwall as far as I know.

I would rather go a size larger (3.50) than smaller and would use the same size front and rear whatever the size.

There is at least one member here who sells that size:

Others have used 100/90-16 from various brands.

There are several threads with pics on dream tires if you do a search

Thanks, Brewsky. These look like good sources for buying tires. The Shimko looks like a good deal.

I had asked my question because I had come across a person who has several new Dunlop ribbed tires that are 3.00 x 16 that I could get for cheap. So I thought maybe I could use them on my CA77s or perhaps my CA95. Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea.

Thanks.

The 3.00x16 ribbed would be ok for the front of your CA95. A 3.00x16 on a CA77 might look kind of puny under that wider fender.

I used 3.50's on both front and rear, looks and rides fine especially with the port-o-walls on them.
