Default rear tire size question

alright - im broke as f&*k and my rear is on the steel belts

no way can i afford the $140+ right now for stock replacement

anybody running a Kenda and if so how are they? performance, lasting long at all, etc

also, anyone running a 150 anything on the back of a street bob? how does it look? im really not a fat tire guy anyway, so the stock 160/70 was fine with me, been running a 160/60 and the profile is kinda too sporty lookin for my taste, but i dont know if the 150 will look like a pizza cutter or what - i grabbed a 120 for the front cuz i want to beef up the front a bit and that really makes me wonder how the 150 would look on the rear.

any feedback MUCH appreciated

I had a Metz 160 on my 06 FXD.......... About the same width as a Dunlop 150. It didn't look bad, but I like my SE 180 a lot better.

You might want to check your local Indy for a take-off 160. When I was poorer, I scored brand new Dunlop used tires for under $50, although they were 130s.
