Ok...this seems to be getting outta hand. I don't think ANYONE has attempted to put a 160 on a stock rim, the 150/60 is pinched enough as it is. My chicken strips are almost .5"

Putting a 160 is really outta the question. Who said theres extra space left, because anyone who knows anything, knows that the Bt-016 and Pilot Powers are really the only tires that fit without touching the chain guard in 150/60 size.

From your posts I get the feeling you don't know much about the performance or handling aspect of the bike, and you're just going for looks... If you put on the 150/70 you will significantly raise the rear end of the bike. Even the 140/70 size raises it a couple mm from stock height, but it may actually be preferable depending on your height. The 150/70 will have a huge sidewall. Like I said in a previous thread of yours if you can't get a 150/60 go for 140/70 NOT 150/70.

There is a lot more to tire dimensions and their fitting than just size.
