Which tire would fit better, the 205/65/16 or the 205/60/16. Which one would sit the bike higher? Thanks.

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
205/60-16 4.8in 12.8in 25.7in 80.7in 785 0.0%
205/65-16 5.2in 13.2in 26.5in 83.2in 761 3.1%

The /65 is going to sit the bike 4/10th's of an inch higher than the /60 (if I read this right)

I put a /55 on my R today and I'm damn near positive a 65 would clear with no troubles. I had to take the brake caliper bracket off to get the wheel in but that's not a big deal.
