Has anyone tried a 205/65/16 tire?

I am currently on a 205/60/16 and want to get a little more height in my ride and 195/65/16 tires are difficult to find locally.

Nut cage mod has been done already.

I had a Nexen 205/65. I forget the model, but they quit making it. It was good, no problems. Just a little more lean on the side stand. 2up and loaded for traveling, never rubbed.

I have ran darkside for last 8 years.  All of the tires have been the 65 series.  Both front and back nutcage done.  NO problem with rubbing anywhere.  Haven't noticed much problem with to much lean.  Do pay attention to where I park though.

Til I went to the A T T 205-65-16 was my choice size wise. Height NOT an issue with me. We just recently covered lean angle in another post.  2funny EVEN when she be parked in her cave the side stand rests on a piece of 1 by.  cooldude RIDE SAFE
