Hello All.
Just curious....the back tire on my Buell is a 180 and i'm going to guess with most, but has anyone put a bigger tire on the back? If so what size and is there any advantage or disadvantage in doing so? Always liked the look of the fat tire on the back of sport bikes, so wanted to see if it would be worth doing when i eventually get a new one in the future.
Cheers

I have pilot powers 190 50 and I would say that is the biggest tire you will get without an kind of modifications. As far as the advantages and disadvantage's are concerned I'm not sure, but I don't notice a difference and I like the way it looks.[up]

On my old R6 I had a 190 fitted for a little while. It didnt seem to turn in quite as well as the 180. But the difference wasn't that great. If you like the way it looks go for it. What the hell...you can always change it back.
