so, you're talking about a 125ish rear - not quite wide enough. It's better to go wider in this instance...

Currently, I'm looking at the Kenda K761 Dual Sport tires....
Are you sure that's accurate? I've come to the understanding that having a wider tire facilitates slightly more traction, but requires the bike to lean farther. A skinnier tire has a smaller curve than a wider tire, therefore reducing the required lean angle, which would be preferred in wet or snowy/icy conditions. Is this correct?
