[Honda-C70] Re: Tire size question

 

I had a 2.25 up front and 2.75 in the rear, which made it look good, but also made it noticeably slower to accelerate.

I just put 2.50's F & R on another one, and ya, it was tight up front, but i feel like it made it handle better. It is definitely the way I'm gonna go going forward, 2.50's f/r.
