Advantages or disadvantages?
Thanks.

I had a 150/80 on mine.
Advantage: Rides better over tar snakes. Handles grooves in the road a tad better.
Disadvantage: Changes the ride angle a little. More turning input required.
It all equals out in the end. I went back to the 140 this time because I could find one. Might go 150 again next, time don't know .

I had a 150 and it went 15k and now I have a 140 and it has 6k on it and Ill be lucky to get 8k
These are Metz 880.
The 140 is wearing even but only has about 3/32 tread left and not getting the mileage I want or would like to so it the 150 on the front, the 150 also handles better the the small tire does.
