Is this for vanity or is there some kind of benefit I'm not seeing? I mean if it allows you to use a radial instead of a bias-ply I can see that maybe helping some, but wouldn't a sticky tire in the size that doesn't pinch be the best option for grip+contact patch? From what I've read, a 140 doesn't pinch at all. Maybe you should look into a 140 instead of a 150?

Thanks for your input, but when people get into new hobbies such as i, People are in need of i
nformation that they don't know. So people who know more about this help guys out like me after viewing ignorant threads like mine lol. I just read 150 would be the max..and thats all i needed to know to justify my question.
