Rim Size vs Tire size.
3" = 130-140
3.5" = 140-150
4.5 = 150 - 160
5.5 = 170-180
6" = 180-190

Recomended sizes. You can always shoe horn something larger... but those are going to give you the best fit and profile for the tire to work the most effectively, and safely. If you want larger tires, you need larger rims.

Price listed seems like a good price, is that shipped or no shipping needed?

Check motorcycle-superstore.com... they do free shipping over $75 orders, and I think that same tire was around $135. Still with in a few dollars, but a tad cheaper after shipping.

I have them in 120/70 and 180/55 and absolutely love them.

Phenomenal dry grip, adequate wet grip, decent life (about 3k miles so far and should last another season or maybe two.) The hard compound in the center doesn't give much feedback, so if you're just riding around town I wouldn't rec. these tires. Once the speeds raise and the lean angle increases, the feel gets MUCH better.

Very confidence inspiring. I paid $360 mounted for a set.
