What with the shortage of Bridgestones, I noticed that various places have Bridgestone rear tires for SilverWing scoots...which are 150-70-13, compared to 130-70-13 which is OEM on the Burg 400.
Looking at my rear tire there is about an inch of space between the tire and gear housing. With the Silverwing tire being 20mm (about 1 9/16 inch) larger in diameter, spread across the the whole width and depth, it seems to me this might work ok.
Has anyone tried one this size?
Had been planning on going with Pirelli's, but a buddy has one with less than 2000 miles showing serious wear. Will report more on this later after we check it out more thorougly.
