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.
 
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.
 
On my:
'13, front- PR3 - 120x18, rear PR3-160x18 rear,
'14, front Dunlop - 110x18, rear PR3 - 160x18

Cool, I’ll give it a shot. Worst case scenario I have mounting issues and order a 140/70 from the UK I guess.

For 2013, I made about 35 Km with PR3 = no problem, then sold it.
For 2014, still have it and made about 10Km = no problem
Good luck and ride safe

PB: I reckon in your nomenclature you mean "kilo-miles (aka Km)", eh? ... and not kilometers?

If so, kinda unique prefixing imperial with metric. :)

METRIC/SI/Canada:
km = kilometer
Km = thousand kilometers

IMPERIAL/USA:
mi. = mile
mph = miles per hour
n.mi. = nautical miles

...cannot see any mix, even with my sunglasses ON/:cool:....and all this^^ is grade 1 :P:P:P
p.s. math, physic, automotive electrical diagrams reading/understanding = please apply within :D

Heh, heh, ... 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.

You got it right :thumbsup:
 
or for computer freaks

Byte : B / 1 Byte = 8 bit
Kilobyte : kB / 1 kB = 1024 Byte
Megabyte: MB / 1 MB = 1024 kB
Gigabyte : GB / 1 GB = 1024 MB
