I just put on a new set of tires today. On the front I put a Dunlop E3 130/70/18 Bias Ply tire. On the rear I put a Dunlop 160/80/16 Bias Ply tire. How will this effect my handling and motor speed to distance covered as compared to the 206 tires? The rear has a load capacity of 922 and the front tire 600 lbs capacity. The bike weight is about 650 lbs. and passenger weight riding 2 up is about 380 lbs and luggage at 40 to 50 lbs. I was running Maxxis Touring Tires and the front tire made the speedometer about five miles faster than should be. It was a 130/70/18 also. The rear had been a 160/70/16 Bias Belted tire. Can someone figure out if I hurt or helped myself with these new tires. Awaiting your reply.
