I too have 160/60/17 Michelin Pilot Road2 and no issues what so ever. As long as you stay with 60s for the profile, you will be fine. Best money spent on mods to date, wish I did it sooner.

I cast another vote for Sport Demons in the factory sizes. Excellent grip and decent mileage, what more can you ask for in a street tire...

Taking Heed of Good Advice On Tires

I was thinking about when I get my 250 to get bigger wider rear tires just for the look. But since I've read most of the threads. I will stick with the 110/130 size it was made for. Hey... Plus I get to save money

Are you fnnn kidding me??

160/60/17 MPR2? Please put up a pic! I have the PP1 150 on the rear and I could swear they look small and I even thought a 160 would fit.

Pics please~~~~!!!!!

One factor not mentioned is the composition of the roads where you live. From what i have seen here and on other forums is the roads out west in california need stickier rubber than we do here in va where the roads are fairly abrasive. Here we can get by with harder tires and still get decent grip. Out in the promised land road composition is different. Avons might work better here than there....can anyone confirm my supposition.

I don't think road composition is that uniform anywhere to make sweeping determinations like that. We have the smoothest new asphalt, we have torn up gravel, we have concrete, and everything in between. It differs from highways to regional roads to twisty mountain roads to coastal roads; and each of those vary depending on when the last time they were attended to.

This has been a great thread to read through. I hope people keep posting their impressions, especially updates as the mileage ticks away!

I am going with the BT-45s, stock size. I wanted to go bigger just for the look, but Ive read a lot of negative feedback from people that have done it.

Depends on the tire you get, I dont like bridgestones, they require high temps to work properly, but rarely will that be achieved on the street. Michelin, Pirelli or Metzlar seem to be the better street tires in my opinion.
