    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    I really like newest Valkyrie wheels . For the moment , spontaneous idea of installing only front one onto my B created nice image , but learning its dimensions are different , immediately called me down .Honda for some VICIOUS and brutally created purpose killed my attempted and wishful thinking .
    Yea - 130 60 19 couldn't work , but let's imagine new look ...

    Looks like 130-60-19 would fit fine.

    ... only , if the new 19" rim with tire will perfectly fit the fork and brake calipers , matching the play of rotors . I called HondaRus and Service Tech. said NO . I will look for another opinion .

    These comparisons of different dimensions of tires apply only to the rear wheel and speedo read-out .

    front tire

    Looks like a good tire. Its a 140 70 18 rear. If it fits; I will try it. It is a Pirelli sport demon.

    I understand your point now. If the vehicle speed sensor measures driveshaft rotation, yes, then only the rear tire size should affect noticeable speedo changes.

    That looks like a good tire... but I wonder if a rear tire will do well on the front. Rear tires are designed to do different things than fronts; power handling, lean handling, weight handling, braking handling are all considerations in tire design and result in subtle differences in shape and size of fronts and rears.

    Load rating looks fine though.
