why up the size? if it's more straight line stability you want just wear the tire down a bit for a bigger contact patch

I like michelin as a tire manufacturer, I ran michelins on my golf, I run them on my 300, and I run them on my truck and I have yet to have any issues with them. While I'd go with the street radials (which I did and don't regret) the pilot road 3s will be roughly the same quality except in bigger sizes which you want. I say go for it, so long as the rubber isn't rubbing on anything you should be fine. I think a 150 is the max with our swing-arm though. A 120 in the front won't be an issue.

I feel for me with bike tires it's always going to be michelin vs pirelli though. Michelin for the streets with their long lasting and still grippy tires (especially in the wet omg) and pirelli for track with their softer rubber. With a larger bike dunlops enter the equation but it's still michelin/pirelli in the lead for my $
