FWIW
Wednesday, I put a 235/60r16 Mitch Hydro Edge tire on my r3. Here, after 100 miles, are some immediate observations.
With original bike tire:
3K rpms = 74 mph indicated on speedo
65mph indicated on speedo = 60 sec/mile or 60mph
With car tire:
3K rpms = 79 mph indicated on speedo
60mph indicated = 60 sec/mile or 60mph
Just rubs the plastic at the front left of the tire. Have ridden 2up with a 200 pound passenger and didn't rub any worse.
Would post pictures in here, but don't know how.
But its MASSIVE in looks!
