I currently have the Avon Cobra A72 rear tire. I was wondering if it is possible to replace mine with a 280mm? and would that allow for a better lean angle? Are there any tires that have a more rounded profile to allow more leaning? So far, I've only seen 300mm tires from Avon, or Metzler; Are there any other tire brands in this size?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! in the wind....

Stuff that, run the 300.
Just crank her over and twist the throttle.
Besides a narrower tire makes your ass look big. lol

Thanks, How do you shave the rear tire?

I just bought and used the very small Kobalt wood planer from lows, just set it at about .150 and try not to stop, peeled mine off in one strip. if you stop it will leave small chatter marks. I did practice on my old Avon tire first.

I run a 280 Metzeler on my K9. Fit is good (Metzeler runs a bit wide). Corners well.
