Now i've got my K100LT back up and running again it's time to think about new rubber.
But i'm confused about what to go for.
I've trawled through old posts and come up with so many options but none that answer my questions so here goes.
My K has a 140 on the rear when it was shipped with a 130 from new.
What sizes should i be fitting to the front and back and what effect will it have on the handling? Why fit bigger? The 140 is very close to the swingarm with less than a 1cm gap.
Also where i live nobody who will fit tyres will mix them up so i have to go for a matched set. I don't push my K that hard but i will be using it almsot everyday and in all weathers. So i need high milleage with good grip in the wet.
Any ideas please as i want to get them fitted maybe this weekend and i'll need to order them soon.
