heres the kicker, my rear end has been lowered 4'' and is now a hardtail (you think thats funny you should see my 24.5'' custom apes ('lol!') )....but i am leaning towards the altimax 195/65-15, the 205 size does interest me tho..

i found these
Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid
P195/65R-15 89H BW
for $89, the tread pattern looks wicked on 'em

just have not seen anyone trying them yet...

any words of advice would greatly be appreciated..

Man I don't know with it being lowered that far. The 1100 guys should be here to offer their input soon.
Federal law says handlebars can be no taller than your shoulders whikle in your riding position, have you been hasseled about them yet?
I'd like to see a picture.

i'm 6'4" on a good day, and have a tall torso, so they sit just at shoulder height..workin on gettin a pic for ya... i have noticed the 185/65-15 seem to be the closest to the stock tire so my speed will not be off if i use this tire (no more then it already is).. those bridgestones look sick tho!!, but then again theres the tried and true kumho that lasts forever....ooo what to do....

any 195/65r15 ought to work fine. Some are harder than others to get them to bead, but the height of the tire won't be any taller than the stock tire.

I don't think your lowered bike will matter.
