VTX1300R tire size
The cross reference says the 1300 should have a 195/65R15.
I see a lot of riders here go with the 205/65R15.
Why?
Better ride with the slightly larger tire?
195 is the exact height of the original mt?

I went right to the 205. Never tried anything narrower, but the narrower the tire the less counter steer needed. Wider offers more stability, better traction and a smoother ride.....JMO

Oohhhhh!
Soo the 205 or 195 is the width. I thought that was the height of the tire and 65, 70 was the width.
