That would make the Metz set the bike about a third of an inch taller than the OEM tire. Don't think that would be a problem and maybe not noticeable but offers a little more ground clearance.
thinking about giving it a try. Thoughts?
There was a post re rear tire size change a while back. If I recall, it was a 2018 GW owner wanting to use the same (2018 GW) tire on his F6B. The new bikes supposedly have a 200/55 R16 and the F6B has a 180/60 R16.
He stated that it fit fine on the rim and no clearance issues. He seemed to like the wider look and performance, but I never heard more about it.
Just my thoughts. Sorry to not answer your question exactly.
