Re: [Honda-C70] Stupid me!

I switched out a 2.5 with very little tread sooo.. quite an improvement but starting from a different place. The biggest difference for me was the extra cush of that big tire it was better then a new pair of shocks. Even that might have just been the new rubber rather then the big size. and now when i hit a pothole the tire bonces off the frame. guess you pay your money and take your chances.

good luck and let me know how it works out.
