Does anyone see a problem running a 160 rear and 110 front. I have an RS rear rim but still have my LT front. Also how much would this screw up the speedometer?

Thanks,

Could the speedo be any more screwed up than it already is?

At least I feel fast when I look down. And safer when I pass radar.

Just do an on-road speedo check- travel 1 mile @ 60 mph while timing it..

The outside diameter (and circumference) for stock LT and RS rims (not rims, TIRES) is about 1% difference because of the RS's lower profile aspect ratio. Nothing to worry about.

Edited for proper vocabulary.

Thanks Drake. Just wanted to make sure before I pick up some radials.

Just remember this ;the bike was designed to run on radials. the stiffer sidewall allow for slow run flat condition. i lost 2 tires in the same year if i had been on bias-ply it might have been curtians.
