New tire - larger?
I know this has been asked a million times but i cant seem to find any recent topics.
Im looking at getting either- Bridgestone BT-016 150/60/17 Bridgestone BT45 150/70/17 Anyone have these on their bikes? Any clearance issues? Please post pics I am aware it may hurt performance but its a 250, im just going for looks and i need a new tire. |

Both will fit just fine. BT016 is a better tire, by far.

In order to retain the performance of the bike after going to a larger tire you might want to change the sprockets.
