Sweet lookin. It really resembles the Toyo Proxie T1R that I have under My F. Mine is a 215/45 18. If its like mine it sticks like glue. Lookin at the tire at the tire rack. The only tire that would fit under the F'er is the 225/40ZR18 and that would take a shoe horn and a hammer to get it in. What size tire did you buy? And did you have to mod the bike to get it in there? Hummmmmmm???? Inquireing minds want to know.

Thanks and ride safe.

This tire is obviously on a Neo, so it was taking a 16" tire. this is a goodyear Eagle F1-GS-D3, in a 205/55/16 size, and as long as it was high enough off the ground to cler that long fender, it went right in with just a bit of wiggling. (deflated of course). It is shorter than the stock 70 series that came off, so the speedo is off about 3MPH more than it already was! It is like the Proxes in the stick factor, rated by Goodyear as one of their high performance Summer tires, and is one on their best in the rain as well. Living in Arizona, I really wasn't concerned with winter weather or the need for an 'all season' tire.

Yes I see that it is a NEO, but my dumb butt was thinking that you had F wheels. Dont really know what why, but that was what I was thinkin. Actually I got excited about a 225 with minimal mods. The Picture from the back sure looks wider than a 205. I guess that shows how attentive I am. No harm, no foul huh? Great looking tire to boot. Like the color. Ride safe.

Peace
