So I have read several threads about different style tires and sizes people have used and wanted to use for this bike. I know it comes with 110 in the front and 140 in the back, at first as I was upgrading the bike I was convinced screw what a lot of people have said im putting the biggest tire that will fit on here and trying it. Well today I was taking a turn, alone, and I felt the front tire slide lightly like it just wasn't grabbing very well, and in that moment I knew then i need tires immediately. I wouldn't say near crash but it scared me and Iv read different tires will stick much better. Saying that I think I want to try a 120 in the front and a 150 in the back, kind of meet in the middle for sizes with the best tires I can buy.. maybe Diablo tires im not sure haven't finished researching the tire itself.
Has anyone tried this configuration? or Maybe stay with 110 in the front and 150 in the back? Honestly I could even give up on my hopes of a larger back tire if someone who has tried it can say it made its turning worse (iv seen pictures of up to 160 in the back, but am not willing to lose performance turning), I love ripping up turns on this thing and I live in the best area for it! So any opinions would be great! I hope to get some answers here because Iv looked all over the web and just find arguments over people saying stay with factory sizing and other people saying it would be better one or even two sizes up. Tonight's my first night as a registered user but i have used this web site as guidance since I got the bike! Pictures of the bike will be uploaded in my profile tomorrow, but its all black with a full exhaust, just got my power commander, air filter, sliders, lights, lots of plasti dip on areas that were not black lol.
Thanks,
