Default Front tire.
2024 RG. Currently with OEM thin side wall tire. I would like to know if mounting a larger side wall tire will benefit ride comfort? I do not want a fat tire kit.

Thank you

Usually a bigger tire will slightly increase cushioning. What pressure are u running?

Thank you
What size wheels are on your bike? What size tires? Probably won't fit a taller sidewall without reducing wheels size.

Will do. Unless the wheel sensors activate low pressure signal.

A taller tire might mess with the ABS
