The 200/50 shinko is too wide.
Looking for who's used what on this wheel.
Thanks

Yeah..its the 6.25" mate.
I'll stick with the 200 tyre.
631mm Diameter compared to 651mm stock.
There might be an online calc that I can use to check effect on gearing.
Might look at fatter front to compliment it.
Who makes a good 130/17 radial? I'd like to go wider next tire change. My front rim is wider than stock. Since the Metzler's are now made in China, I'm looking around for different brands.
I installed a set of Metzler 880's (1 x METZELER ME880 MARATHON 120/70ZR-18 $151.25/ 1 x METZELER ME880 XXL 200/50ZR-18 $188.74) before my ride to Newfoundland which were stamped "Made in Germany" on the sidewall of both front and back tire. They were purchased in March from American Motorcycle Tire.
Off topic info, my trip to Newfoundland ride covered about 5500 miles, the Metzler front tire has cupped but still rideable for this year and the rear tire has a 2" - 2.5" flatspot down the middle (200 width tire). I was running with a full touring setup so extra weight was a factor in this wear.
