Is anyone running this in the 65B vs 70??? If so, what's the deference besides height?

That is the only difference.  Speedo reads 5mph high, but it did with the 70 on it, some brands a little less.  Also the B probly stands for bias ply instead of radial, a good thing in my opinion.  They last longer for me.   ;)  Hoser

The first response was correct about the height, the B may =Bias; the web sight list notes this tire is reinforced as well.  The 65 is a little shorter than the 70, but after running the 70 on my first Valk I decided to go with the 200/60R16.

Speedo runs off the front tire not the rear on Valks.
