tazmocycle Posted October 5, 2011 Share #27 Posted October 5, 2011 i have always got better traction and handling with the 180s over the 150s. i've read articles about wider tires not having better traction, but if you inflate any tire with too much air you lesson the traction and wear of tire. i always watch how the tread wears across the tire as i ride on it. i could break the 180 on my royal and do a big burnout, thats why i only got 9,000 miles out of the first one i put on. lol like a lot of brands of bikes you have several models grouped together at times and confuses some folks. the vtx has a 1300, 1800c and 1800s models. the honda shadows has a lot of differant models and sizes, 600s, 750s and 1100s. one good reason for these websites are we can learn from other things we didn't know or things we thought we knew. LOL some have also went to a smaller 130 front tire on the venture and like the better slow handling of it where i rather have better handling with the bigger tire not tracking down groves in the roads. jmho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
