Bridgestone BT45 Bias-Ply 150/70 rear tire

[Red Mist_imp]

If the suspension travel is in fact 3.5" then there is no way the 150/70 tire could possibly contact any part of the fender. Perhaps the groove running down part of the center of the tire was caused by the mounting process or something else is amiss.

Anyone else out there try any other tires but what came on the bike stock? Here again, based on the suspension travel, the fitment of the 150/70 should have been absolutely fine.

I see there are about a thousand forum members here; somebody's got to know something...
