Default Breakout rear tyre sizes

Just wondering if any1 has changed the size of the rear tyre on their breakout. Mines about due for a new tyre. Any1 running a 250 or even 260?
If so what brand? Thanks in advance.
Here's a picture of my bike, been on here before. Done a ton more mods to it now!

24v on here is running a 250 on his red rocket. Looks great. I'm sure he'll chip in soon, if not look him up

You're on the Gold Coast too mate?

Yeah me, 24v and a few others are running the Dunlop Elite 3 250/40R18. Fits great with no issues at all.

I just put a Avon 250/40R18 cobra on my 13 CVO Breakout today..I love it and it barely squeezed by the belt..I put a Dunlop 240/40R18 on a month ago and didn't like the look so I ordered the Cobra from ebay. I haven't figured out how to post pics on here yet...but I have the exact specs for about 5 different tires...Also btw dwnlo, what kind of handlebars and size are on your breakout...looks bad**s..

I saw a post on another forum that a guy had the 260 Metzeler with the stock wheel...I have about 3/16" of space left between tire and belt..seems lime it would be a tight squeeze...maybe need to shave tire..idk..
