That will fit, it is a little more low profile so your odometer might be off a little.

The 195/55-16 does fit. Its just a little shorter than the OEM 180/65B16, so like somebody else said your speedo will be a little off.

The 195/60-16 car tire is just about perfect, same diameter as the OEM bike tire and very easy to install.








Regards,

I have the Bridgestone Taranza 195-60-16 and it fit great and rides even better. I run solo 100% of the time and run 28 psi for a smooth ride and long lasting.

Not to hijack the post but why run a car tire? The only advantange I see is saving a few bucks. It's got to effect how the bike turns and sticks to the road. I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ just trying to understand. 14k on my rear tire hoping to get 20.
