The 160 fits fine on my 08 SG, I am so glad I bought this as opposed to the mu90. I wanted the biggest tire that would fit. I also checked my speedo with my GPS stock speedo 60-actual 57 with the 160 E3 speedo 60 -actual 58.7 so for the guy that said it threw his speedo off by 10- no way!

I tried holding my left nut while tightening - oh, wait, sorry.

I have removed my wheel 6 times now to replace the tire in 32k miles and i don't mark it because i go by the tightness of the belt...i put it on and check the belt for it to be true....and also tight enough.
