maximum rear tire size
i have a 1996 cbr1000f. right now it has stock tire sizes on it. the front was bald so i got a new one (michelin pilot power). my rear tire only has about 1k miles on it, but its a dunlop and i wanted to match tires, so i figured i might as well go a little wider. what is the max size i can safely fit on there? thanks

One of the mods the guys do with the Aprilia Tuono is to toss the 190 and install a 180 for better handling. I run the 180 and don't see any gains other than looks with the 190. The 180 is only 5mm wider on each side so there is not much difference. There are several new bike models with the 120 Front /180 Rear setup.
Here are just a few,
BMW R1200RT, R1200R, F800R, F800ST, K1300GT
Yamaha FJR1300
Honda ST1300 has a 170 but if it were me I would go with the 180.
The Kawasaki ZZR1200 that is discontinued had the 180.
