I'm on it as soon as I need to replace the back tire.
How is the wear on your rear tire I have just over 4k on mine and looks like I may get around 8k before its due for replacement then I am going with the chrome turbines... can't wait
Are you planning on staying with the stock tire or going with something else?
Careful on tire size changes that involve diameter changes. The service manual specifically warns that you can impair the operation of the ABS system if you change the diameter.
2014 Breakouts come with ABS as STANDARD equipment.

Not that I have plans regarding tires any time soon but I'm curious as to why this is and what they mean by diameter, (circumferential or sectional). Anyone got a "Tires for Dummies" explanation as to how this tires vs ABS works ?
Use only tires listed in Table 1-7. NOTE ABS equipped motorcycles must always use properly inflated tires and wheels that are the same as the original equipment. The ABS system monitors rotational speed of the wheels through individual wheel speed sensors to determine the application of ABS. Different diameter wheels or tires can:
Alter the rotational speed which can upset the calibration of the ABS.
Adversely effect its ability to detect and prevent lockups. Operating with inflation pressure other than those specified in Table 1-7 can reduce ABS performance.
Guess I was thinking only the real vs perceived (by the system) rate of deceleration would be less with a larger circumferential diameter but if it throws the ABS calibration off,,, ??
