Default RE: tire size

I was going to do this too, but word out is that this will slow the bike down when transitioning from side to side. If it will make my handling sluggish, then I will stick to what is already on there.

thanks remo.
it does look nice to have the wider tire. but if it means slowing you down. then your right i'll stay with the same size. thanks brother. plasma blue rule. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]
