Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forum and I would like to thank all you you for the wealth of information. I am restoring a barn find 1939 NZ 250 as a Heer messenger machine. I was wondering what would be more commonly found on a Wehrmacht motorcycle, the standard 3,00 X 19 tires or a larger 3,50 X 19 size?

Hi,
Look at the topic from "Landser"on Mi. 01.10.08.
He brought in org. paperwork from a NZ from 1939, the same as You have. The third picture describes about the Tire-sizes.
By my knowing the tires for WH NZ have the same profil as the civillian-type NZ. My NZ 350-1 from 44 has still the org. tires with normal (street)profil.
If any-one knows better, react on this topic.
