I have a 07 RSMV with the 404's on it. From all I read here...I cannot wait to get those tires off the bike. Only got about 4K in them now. If fact I am thinking about going ahead and swapping both now. Elite 3's or the Venoms I am going back with stock sizes. Tonight I was doing some research on which tire should buy. I have used Dunlops religously for years on all my racing bikes and had really good luck from them (we don't care about longivity dirt just don't come apart and get good traction), but I feel there is not as much infor on the Elite 3's to just go with them. Avon's have a lots of information from this site and others that indicate good luck they are a good choice. I do not know anybody personally that is running nothing but the stock 404 or Brickstones. One concern that I could not find any information on... WIDTH?... Stock tire width according to manufactor... Dunlop 404 Front and rear 6.06" (white walls are a little bit wider 6.08 and 6.05 ???) 150/80-16 71H BW 32KY-91 3.50 25.43 6.02 6/32 761 @ 41 150/90-15 74H BW 32NI-50 4.00 25.60 6.02 9/32 827 @ 41 Dunlop Elite 3 front 5.97" rear 6.02 150/80-16 71H BW 4079-89 3.50 25.54 5.97 6/32 761 @ 41 MV85B15 77H BW 4079-45 3.50 25.50 6.02 11/32 910 @ 40 Avon Venom Front 6.20" Rear 6.30" 150/80-16 71H MT3.50 3.00 - 4.00 157 6.20 637 25.10 150/90B15 74V MT3.50 3.00 - 4.00 159 6.30 645 25.40 Now that is .28" wider than stock rear. about 9/32" (over 1/4") wider than stock. I know a little over 1/8" on each side. I know there is very little room now between the stock tire and drive shaft tube. Anybody had any problems with the tire rubbing to drive shaft tube? This has me really scatchin my head. It seems they be too wide and may rub or is it the way the measure the width of the two different manufacters tires? Anybody have this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. What gives?
