mm482 Posted February 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 2, 2009 I have the 165/80R15 Federal SS657. It is very close to the original size rear tire. Earl 00RSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm482 Posted February 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 3, 2009 Yes, it is on the rear of a 2000 RSV. I have about 5,000 miles on it and I am very happy with it. I paid $65.00. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted February 3, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2009 It looks like the 165/80R15 is the preferred size. I have a 155/80R15. It's smaller then the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunboat Posted February 3, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 3, 2009 hi i have the bf goodrich t/a radial p155/80r15. installed it last april now have almost 17,000 miles on it. when it wears out i am going to try a p165/80r15. so far i been well pleased with it. it's not a mod for everyone, just take it easy for 300 to 500 miles to skuff it end and get used to the feel. go read the post's on the darkside form. there are pro's & con's on doing this. the important thing you make up your own mind & always be safe. pm me or call me, my # is on my profile page if you have any questions. best reguards don c.

BigBoyinMS Posted February 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 3, 2009 165/80R15 Kumho. I ride like it's a M/C tire. Can't tell the difference. (One warning: It took 112 lbs to seat it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
