Tyre size - rear
I know it is a dumb question, but is it OK to put a 17 inch 140/80 (instead of the recommended 130/80) on the rear of the 660 Ten? I killed my Heidenau K60 rear in Uzbekistan and my choices are severely limited. Thanks

Yup you'll be right. There should still be clearance all round.

Cheers fella. I managed to find a bald, squared off Michelin Anakee in 120/70 to keep me going, but I need a decent tyre very soon and a 140/80 might be available (when I get to Kyrgystan). I think I will go for it. Thanks again.

I've a heidenau scout 140 rear on mine for the last 9000 miles or so and its good, though due for replacement. I think the scout only comes in a 140.

Hell no, I run a 130 Scout and it performs just fine, great tyre.

I have to agree with Petenz. In fact, next Mitas i'll put on will be 120, just to feel my self are there any benefits.
