Default RE: Rear Tire Width

ORIGINAL: nigelgeast

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, the 2008 model comes standard with a 160 Dunlop, it seems like it is a lot of expense to gain 20 mm in width, I will revisit this when I need to replace the tire, thanks again for the informative feedback,

Nigel, whether or not 20mm is worth it to you is up to you of course.&nbsp\\; I waited until it was time for a new tire anyway to move to the 180 and so there really was no additional expense for me assuming the new tire cost me relatively the same amount that a stock replacement would have.&nbsp\\; It actually was a little more to be honest, but not that much more and there was no other parts or labor to go from 160 to 180mm - just change the tire.
