Has ANYONE put a wider rear tire on their SCR? If so, tell me what size/brand/ you went with. Thanks. Jevers
Thanks Sammy! I will order up a set tonight. JeversStreet, Yes,
I put a Michelin Commander 2 on the rear
160/17 B17 73V rear
100/90 B19 57H front
I got 20/K out of the rear and almost ready to change the front at 30/K
I can't say enough good about them.
Jevers,Well, after Sammy's recommendation, I put a set of Commander lls on. I wanted to go wider in the rear, and this was one of the few tires that ended up with the exact aspect ratio. I kept the front in the stock size. As soon as I grabbed the front brake to make sure the forks were aligned, I could feel immediately how sticky they are! Not really the tread pattern I was looking for, but it is ridden mostly on pavement. I will update how they are on gravel when the temps get out of the 30s. I will post some before and after pics, as soon as I can figure out how. Thanks for your input as well, Eddie! Jevers
Thanks for the heads up, Sammy! I have had street oriented tires before on other bikes that were ok on gravel. JeversJevers,
I would not recommend these tire on gravel!!!
You will not like the results, especially at 41 and 43 psi
