Well, I purchase the Metzler ME 880 Marathon tires and since I had both stock and the upsized tires available I snapped a few shots for comparison.

Front - Upsize 110/90 - 19 on the left; Stock 100/90 - 19 on the right




Rear - Upsize 170/80 - 15 on the left; Stock 150/90 - 15 on the right

Great info here. A few weeks ago I bought a set of shinko 777 tires 110/90 and 170/80. They look amazing. Did them myself with 2 c clamps and 2 pieces of plastic from a empty milk gallon and 2 tire irons.

Btw, I had to remove the rear final drive assembly from the axle tube to get the new wheel on. Wasnt hard at all, and lubed the splines on the end of the axle as well as the final drive outer gear and the inside of the wheel hub where the final drive slides into. And the axle bolt itself.
