I've got the UHP. I'm pretty sure UTP is a typo. If you go to General's website, they only have the UHP, ST, and HP in the Grabber line.

I'm hoping to get it done this Thursday, but the weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate. My work schedule is a real hardship when it comes to getting stuff like this done. I don't want to have the bike down for more than a day since I don't have a garage and don't wanna leave her on a stand in the apartment parking lot. The only way I can do that is to get the wheel off and get the tires swapped on the same day. Thursday is the only day that I can get off a little early so that I can get the wheel off before the shop I use closes. If it rains this Thursday, it'll be two more weeks cause my girlfriend and I are going to meet with her pastor to see about wedding arrangements next Thursday. With my luck, the weather will be perfect next Thursday and probably rain again the next...

Great thats what I wanted to hear I am so stoked about getting this tire im sick about it. I have definatley pondered other brands and sizes but that Grabber has got me on the height. Once I learned how to do the math (thanks twinn) the 205/65 has a side wall heigth of 5.2 inches and the 165/80 has a side wall heigth of 5.19 inches once converted the 205/70 on the other hand is 5.6 inches and if I am figuring correctly 15 in rim plus 2x 5.6 is roughly 26 inches which will definatley cut the rpm`s down on the X and put top end back as close to the stock top end was as can be for now maybe slightly better

Inspector,

You are welcome sir....glad we could help! That's what friends do!

Well hurry up and git the thing on! Now you know why I was so excited to do the 205/65 thing. I wasn't even ready to need one yet and still had a 1/4 of the tire left on my 165, but the urge of putting the 205 on was tooooooo strong!.......ehehehehehe So I smell whatcha' stepping in... Wink

It was a typo, I thought I had edited it out, but sometimes my brain doesn't work as well as my brain. Wink

Well, the weather has shot my opportunity to get the thing mounted today. Looks like I get to wait two more weeks... Sad On the bright side, great weather slated for this weekend, and there ain't nothing wrong with getting some more miles out of the Khumo. Smile

I might get to ride mine to work in the morning for the first time. It'll be about 20 on the way to work, but a ncie balmy 45 on the ride home. I just gotta make it around the big mud puddle (small lake) in front of my shop where the bike is parked inside. Today's snow melt was the first big melt since we bought the house and I find that I have a neat little lake between my shop and the driveway No
