Just got an 06 Stratoliner after a 05 Venture Tire are eating me up. I ride to work each day in the Texas Hill country 90 miles round trip. I have had the bike 2 months and 3500 miles. My tires go about 5000 on the Venture and I expect the same on the Strat. I have been researching this for a while and I just found this forum and I am excited. I have been looking at 205 55r 17 tires. Does anyone use this size tire on their Strat?

Lurch,

What size is your original motorcycle tire???

My rear is a 190 60 17 I am a bigger guy 6'6" 260 and i ride 2 up. i just don't want to rub 2 up so I am looking at the 205 vs the 215 60 17. i got about 3500 mile left on my MC tire before I need to change. I will go about the first to middle of july amd need new tire if not sooner. I am going to change but researching the options. I put about 450 to 550 a week going to work and play. I ride on my days off to fishing holes in the rivers around the area.

Look through this yamaha forum. Several folks have replace their rear tires on the stratoliner with success.
