I have a riding buddy that is wanting to try out the Dark Side and wanted to see what you guys are using. I've seen the 175-60/16 mentioned in a couple different brands but curious if this size throws the speedo out of whack. I saw this one posted on Facebook. First thought was that's a big difference in height. Your help is much appreciated.

Use this sight to match up and compare difference in sizes it work great.
Put in the factory size then the size you are look at Try different ones until you find what you need. Click over lay to see how they match up. It will tell you the speedo differences. Keep in mind not every size you come up with is made so when you find one that works look for a tire. Example not a lot of option in the 195 series. Good luck with your search
