160/60/18 Tires - cblais19_imp - 03-10-2019 Hey folks, I know some people have been running this size on their bikes - especially the Pilot Road 3. I picked up a set of Bridgestone T31s in the OEM front and 160/60 rear (140/70 is only available in international markets), since Bridgestone is running a nice rebate on pairs & ive had a great experience with the A41s on my Tenere that were also released last year. However, looking at Bridgestones site, I realized they recommend them for a 4.5” rim - is the Pilot the same, or does Michelin support a 4” rim for it? I couldn’t find rim widths listed on their site. RE: 160/60/18 Tires - redbirds_imp - 03-10-2019 Seems I recall this same question asked a few years ago when someone first tried the Michelins. One dealer even refused to mount the larger tire. Many 160's of various manufacture have been used by forum members since (me included) and I can't recall a single failure being reported.

Worst case scenario I have mounting issues and order a 140/70 from the UK I guess.

If so, kinda unique prefixing imperial with metric.

PB, there is no such standard representation "Km". ![]() So 35 Km, of course, is represented as 35,000 km. You could use 35 Mm (35 megameters), but that is an uncommon representation, confusing, but not incorrect.
