The larger 140/80should also add I little height to the bike.

I swapped over to a Heidenau K60 scout and it was a much taller tyre than the 130 Tourance it replaced. Probably made for marginall better cruisng on the m-way but not really noticed as the first time I headed out after replacing it the bike was loaded to the max. Mileage was good. It made it to Barnaul in Russia (the long way via. Turkey/Iran/The Stans) and wouldve had plenty to make it back had I not shipped the bike at end of trip.

I liked to look and confident feel of the bigger tyre. Just made getting my feet down a little harder.
