Front Tire Choices

[Idaho Red Rocket 3]

Are you considering the Road 6 reversed for your GT? On the Rocky Mountain ATV site they show the 150-70-17 as the closest fit for the 150-80-17 replacement. That's going to drop the front and you've already raised the rear with the Exedra Max (good choice!).

Wondering if that might shorten the rake too much? Inquiring minds want to know....

@1olbull has been running this combination for a very long time. He says it works great. He is an aggressive rider who loves high speed and twisties.
Remember the 150/70ZR-17 is a rear tire. You have to turn it around on the front for braking grip. Give it a try.

Good post Mr. Bill!
The 150/70ZR17 Road 6 IS THE BEST front tire I have ever highway hooned on over the past 63 years!
I have used 3 of the Road 5 and currently have 2 of the Road 6 on my R3Rs.

Curious- what size tire is the Road 6 on the front of your 3R in combination with the rear? Are you running the Exedra Max on the rear, or something else?
