Rear tire upgrade ? Klx250SF
 

The stock tire on my 2010 klx250SF looks real small. I like when supermotos have a large,wide,thick and tall rear tire like a 600cc + street bike tire.
Can I upgrade my rear tire to bigger size on my stock rim ?
What sizes can I do ?
Any benefits ?
Any negatives ?
Can I only increase the rear and leave the front tire stock ?
Any pics of larger rear tires ?

Rear Tires
 

Uhhhhh no, the reason you don't want to do that is 1 it won't clear the swing arm with a 150, and 2 the bike doesn't have the power to turn a heavy tire like that. Get a 140, or stick with a 130 and put a 120 up front. Until you get a big bore kit that is ;p

some have cleared a 150 on the back but its tight and depnds on the tire profile.

best to go ahaed and stay with 140 or smaller.

I've been told you can lace a rim slightly off to the right when running a fatter tire on a bike. Not sure what that does to the handling..

I got a 140/70/17 sticky Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 on the back on mine....It works great & looks big enough on the medium sized SuMo! Also Bridgestone Battlax BT090 & Pirelli Sport Demon's work well on a SuMo KLX.

IMO a 150 would be to big & heavy, which would ultimately muck the power & handling up on such a light & twitchy bike. Get a KTM or a Husky if you want big chunky tires.

Thanks for your replies guys !
I guess I'm leaning more towards a higher CC supermoto with larger tires. If I do keep my klx I will prob get up to a 140 rear.

Yeah, it looks better now than before I put front tire on. the rear looked like a freaking tractor tire :(.
