hi, i'm planning to change my tires soon on my skorpion sport and i was wondering if i could fit a wider tire at the rear?
standard it has a 150 tire, could i fit a 160 and will it improve the handling?
If it will make it worse I think I'll stick to the 150 
thanks |

i am not a fan of changing tire sizes
only 2 times in 50 years
65 bmw r69s 350x18 in place of 400x18 so i could rotate tires
as at the time i rode solo all the time and all my other bmw's took 350x18 and had the same chassis
120/80x16 on back of the 1995 saxon tour as no 110/80x16 rear tires could be found in the usa
ar dave
make sure what ever you put on are sticky as falling off is NOT what we want any one to do!!

Donīt change it. The 150 tyre is very good. If you drive on a racetrack with lighter wheels okay....but normally stay on 150
