That's what I've been hearing, thanks for the confirmation.
I was hoping to go to a fat 140, or maybe even 150 but I would like to avoid getting into rim/wheel modifications if possible. I'm...

Tires
So this is the closest I can find in a dual sport tire for the stock rim. Not quite perfect, and there's the tube/tubeless issue as well. I'm seriously debating about doing the 17" wheel swap to get...
