Ian, We had some difficulty with a different manufacturer of 210 x 65 tires (Chinese, I think from memory), in that the outer diameter of the tire was greater than the Continental it replaced, and fouled the tailwheel fork on our Falke SF25C. A new Continental fitted fine, and we have had no difficulty (yet) with the new tire. Thanks for the "heads-up" Cheers, John G.
