smaller front tire

I put on a smaller front tire than stock and it drives much better and steering is effortless. corners are nothing now. I have heard others did that and it seems to be the growing trend.

You should get better fuel mileage, since you will always be going downhill.

yep i think better fuel because less wind. I had a 15/80 that was 1.3 taller than the stock 140 and went from the 150/80 to a 120/70 that is 1.8 smaller than stock. It lowered the front about 1.5 in. When i had the 150/80 if you were parked and the wheel was turned it would slap the stop. now when you park the wheel stays where to left it. You should try one some time. The next time i am going to get either the 120/60 or the 130/70 depending on how many miles i get on the 120/70
