Author Message   Tatsu Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 01:57 am:        Looking at the Mets M1s. What is the largest tire that can safely be put on this bike? Thanks! Tatsu   Blake Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 02:15 am:        Anything other than the prescribed stock size tire will be detrimental to your XB12R's handling and a waste of rubber as the edges get pinched inwards leaving you with huge chicken strips than can never be erased. Stick with 180/55 on back and 120/70 on front.   Tatsu Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 02:44 am:        K thanks for the info... Tatsu   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 08:04 am:        I've run both 180 and 170 rears on my cyclone, I like the 170's better for handling, but I will buy whichever I can get a good deal on. I would definately NOT go over 180, even if it would fit (which it probably would not), as the handling would suffer too much. Officially, the Cyclone is supposed to have a 170, but there is some evidence mine came from the factory with a 180.
