Tire Changes & Geometry Affects on Rocket Roadster

[barbagris]

Ooooohhhh, go you! Buck the trend and all the advice!!

It took a lot to convince me. Unless directly so advised I would STILL follow "lore". Hell, I have explained it often enough. But the Michelin Man was quite adamant that the Road5 carcass would work better not reversed. And it does have quite a pronounced directional pattern.

Cool might have to hunt around and get another front rim with one mounted. I can compare it against the 140/75battle criuse .

Was tempted to go the Battle cruise route.

Will see how my wallet feels at the end of summer; right now it is suffering severely. May send my spare rear rim to DEGET for conversion to 17" so I can start using Z rated rears.

Out of curiosity what sort of geometry change would we have with the stock rear tire and the 140/75 front - is that a worthwhile change - or not.

Tis a step in the right direction for sure and will improve handling.
