Salutations!
I've been thinking about putting 150 tire in the back for some time before I've ordered Maxxis OE size. I've spoken with Kawi service people they advised me not to do 150 mainly because of rim width and curvature of tread on OE (3.5 inch) rim. There will be less contact patch with pavement in up right pos!
Were they blowing smoke in my eyes?
What is the real deal with putting 150 tires on 500R?
Cheers!
P.S I've searched SEARCH[/color] button, couldn't find satisfactory answers!
