keep that size you can't relly go wider. keep in mind these bikes where not designed to wear wide shoes. the wider tire you put on these bike (saying that one would fit) actuacly slows down the turning and leaning ablities of the bike. thats what i heard anyway. i am going to to stick to a 130 for my 1k once i get it running.

I have a 130/90 now, stock cast wheel. It looks like a 140 would fit before the chain would start rubbing the tire, if you can find a 140. You would'nt gain much though. I think the 130 is about the widest tire you can safely use on these rims. The original tire is 4.50". A 130 mm is taking you up to about 5.12"And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
