rjmalizia Posted September 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2007 Question: has anyone tried going to a smaller rear tire? I believe the rear is a 90 series. Has anyone even seen a 15 inch 70 or 60 series rear tire. and then for those of you that have tried this, how badly did it affect the top end on the freeway? thanks in advance.

A few years ago I put on an 80-series rear tire because the tires I had ordered did not arrive in time to change out for a vacation trip. The 80-series tire only lasted about 10k miles (vs. 16-18k I get with the Metzlers) and the speedometer and odometer error almost doubled. I suspect a 70- or 60-series tire will be worse.
