Of Course it is a Rear tire going on the front, to match the Michelin HydroEdge on the back

Any suggestions on a Shop to mount it in the Baton Rouge Area?

Thanks in advance

If you can't find anyone I'm about 45 minutes north of Hammond. I have my own tire changing station. It's a manual one but works great. I'm getting ready to mount a 200/60/16 Monday. Headed to Pumpkin Center tomorrow to work on a I/S for Bird. Just let me know if you need help.

The only drawback to that size is that it is about 1 3/8ths inch shorter than the stock tire.  It lowers your front axel aprox 5/8"  making it a little sooner to drag the pegs and it increases the speedometer error (reads fast).

That is the size I have also.  My tire looks like new with 10k miles on it.

Check your email, I sent you Bob's number.
