it does not change the speedo, I checked via GPS speedometer and .5 mile per hour off 70 mph =70.5 mph

That's great!
With stock MC 180 tire, my indicated 70 was actually 68, and I was clocking an extra 3 miles for every hundred.
With a 185 back there, my indicated 70 is now 71, indicated 80 is now actually 84. However, my odometer is within 0.3 miles for every hundred.
No biggie - just data points.

Several times, I've followed a friend that uses a CT & it scares the crap out of me to see him lean in a corner. CT's aren't made to run on the corners / edges. I fail to see any advantage to running one..….. I'll stick to good, quality tires made for my MC.
If the computer uses gear and RPM to judge the speed, that 195 tire size is really gonna change the speedo.
I don't mind I will just have to make sure to run the posted speed limit.
With the OEM tire, 3000 RPM is right at 70 MPH.
Will look into the run-flat tire before I do anything.
The reviews on the Toyo tire are no good.
Yokohama makes a 185-60-16.
ITS ALL GOOD
I used Yokohama (rated around 130mph) on a Honda Accord EX coupe I had. Never had a problem, a tad noisy, cornered good.
I'm just trying to stay close to the OEM size. I believe I read that someone here has used a Yokohama.
ITS ALL GOOD
I just ordered the 185-60-16 Yokohama. Should have it on the bike next week.
ITS ALL GOOD
