I have to agree with Elite 3's. I have tried a few others and the e3's are by far the best all around tire.

Best handling, mileage and price, hands down, Elite 3s. I used a 140 on my '07 but have seen many use 160/80s with no fitment issues. If I still had that bike I'd put a 160 on it.

None at all it went straight under the guard with no rubbing, The 160/80/16 fills the guard and handles great. I'm very happy with this tyre and will replace with another e3 160/80/16
