Question about tire sizes. Does anyone have first hand experience with using a 140\80\17 or a 5.10\17 on the rear instead of the standard 130\80\17, and if you do how did it work. I am thinking about going with a 140\80\17 Metzeler Tourance for my street oriented tires and a Kendra K270 for my more dirt oriented tires. Also will the Superbrace work ok with the Kendra 3.25\21 K270, and did people get better handling with the large tires. Especially in sand. Bill "SandShark" 92 KLR-650 A6

Dude,got the 5.10 and is great in the soft stuff. Although I'm talkin' snow, not much sand yet... I did have to reattach the stock tailpipe so the pipe mounting flanges are outside the frame tube mounts. Moved it out about 1/2". Before that the knobs rubbed badly on any bump. I must say the the old Bridgestone on the rear rubbed the muffler on rear compression...not sure what the issue with that was. The front floats better over the soft stuff, but I get high speed shake at around 80 mph. Again, don't know if it's due to wider/bigger tire or just the knobs being taller or both. Hope this helps...

I am buying a new rear tire for my KLR-650. Since the standard size rear tire is a 130/80/17 what is the the largest rear tire that can fit without having a problems. Bill "SandShark" 92 KLR-650 A6 Central Florida

It varies depending on the make/model of tire. What kind of tire are you thinking about running?

I have a 97 KLR650, the manual calls for a 130/80-17 tire for the rear. I like tred design of the Dunlop D606 but it only comes in (at least that is all I have found) in a 130/90-17. Does anyone know if I can go with this bigger tire and still clear the swing arm? Thanks, Rob

[Fred Hink]

The 130/90 D606 should fit fine. Fred

I'm putting Kenda 270's on my A 17. The front is a 3.00/21, is that the same as the standard 90/90 21. If not will it work? Thanks, Dan

[dooden]

I just mounted a 3.25x21 and it fit just fine, im sure there is plenty of room for a 3.00x21. Dooden A15 Green Ape
