Okay, I'm thinking I'm going to switch to the darkside. I got my bike on December 7th and already have 2400 miles on it. I'm hearing the stock Dunlop rubber only is good to about 7K and that's just not going to do. I'll go through four tires this year alone.

The stock tire size is 180/60/17 and I know I can put a 200/55/17 on it without clearance issues in the Dunlop line. I also realize that as you go up in width the aspect ratio needs to drop.

Does this mean a 205/50/17 Car tire would work or would a 205/55/17 be closer to the 200/55/17 motorcycle tire? Also, what would be a good tire in this size to use? I would like something with a more rounded profile and with an aggressive tread pattern.

Use the Discount Tire tire calculator. This should give you an idea of what sizes will be comparable to stock.

Did you ever find a suitable tire? I just bought a 2012 which is basically the same. Curious to see what you found to work well. I have been looking at the Yokohama tires. http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/detail/s_drive
Let us know what you find out

Think I am gonna order a 195/45R17 S-Drive Yoko tire, but I will be deploying in a few days so I will when i get back at the end of the year. May measure the 205 and see if it will fit. Wider is better Smile
