EC300 rear tyre size

[(F5)]

What tyre to go for; I've always run 120/90s on my 200. Should I stay with this or go 130/80 on the 300? Was going to try the M12 Michy for med to hard. the 130 michs don't seem super wide.

thanks

I've had 110s - 130s on my 300 and have had no probs with any of them. currently running a 110/100 Dunlop 736 AT Desert on the rear which was my Desert race tyre (bloody heavy but i haven't been able to destroy it yet). Have 2 1/2 (yes, one's half used) Dunlop D756 (in 110/100) sitting in the shed which will go on next which i've been happy with in the past.
Don't forget that different brands have different dimensions... Some are wider than others.

You have to note that michilin run there sizes differently to every other tyre brand.
A 120 S12 is the same width as a 100/X bridgestone or dunlop.
A 130 S12 is the same width as a 110/X "or "
A 140 S12 is the same width as a 120/X "or"

Thats why a 120 michilin doesnt seem wide, because it isnt wide

Next up on my 300 is a S12 140 that I have. The '11 300 comes standard with a 140/80 tire.

Definitely 140/80 or equivalent.
