These fit a 17" Cal series but don't last long.

These are too large diameter to fit without major modifications to all swing arm types.
So I'm back to running cheap regular motorcycle tires on the rear.
Probly end up lacing a 16 rim on the hub for more tire choices.

I had good mileage on the Jack-All rig with a Dunlop 404.

 Have a set of 15" EML wheels i might let go. The rear one had a crack at the rim/ spoke junction.  Had my neighbor the blacksmith weld it. Not pretty but works.  I made up new 15" rims.
