Been running a Kumho on my 1300c now for about 10,000 miles and it is everything good that everyone said it would be. I now have the hankering for a wider tire, say a GYTT 205-70R-15. Any issues I should be aware of (other than $$ Smile ) Time to step up and step out!

You may be stepping up, but you will play hell geting it to step out Laughing GYTT is a tried and true tire, the 205-70 will give ya a little more clearance while throwing it through the twisties.

See you out there

Kumho->GYTT Empty Tire size

Generally going to a wider tire means lower in heigth as well. Use the tire calculator to see how much. Wider is cool but a more rounded profile is important for good handling.
