RE: Thinking about a wider rear tire
#49

Riko as I read this thread that is exactly what was being said, there is a right way to go with a bigger tire and a wrong way. The right way is to get a wider rim. The wrong way is to shoehorn too big of a tire onto a too narrow of a rim. At least that's how I read it.

To the best of my knowledge, on this forum, only Red Mist has tried a tire larger than the stock specified tire, so he is the only one that can speak with you on an experience basis.
