I have a Harley superlow 2012 model with a original rear tyre size of 150/60/17 Wud like to replace it with 150/70/17..Would it fitHi Anil,
There will be problems because of the increase in overall diameter as you go for a taller side profile. The SuperLow already has very limited suspension travel. The tyre will brush up against the mud guard when compressed, unless you rework the shockers at the back.
Recommendation: Stick with the same size. To improve comfort, see if you can install gel pads on the seats. It won't be cheap but comfort levels will go up.

I am having dezire diesel engine car from Suzuki company and in 35000 km my Bridgestone tyres are need to replace because of wear and tear. Kindly guide me why this is happeningRead MoreHi Naveen,
Generally tyres lasts for about 40,000-50,000 km. However this figure is just an estimated figure. Tyre wear depends on number of factors like your driving style, general maintenance like alignment/balancing and checking tyre pressures regularly.
