KLE TYRE (not which is best)
hi
i'm looking at buying a set of battlewings (bt45 only done 3300 miles and rear is knackered) and was wondering if the 140/80 would fit i know this would up the profile by about 8mm thus higher gearing as well as increasing the width. any input would be appreciated |

Any reason you wouldn't put the set of Avons on? I got only got 4200 out of the stocks, just had these fitted and they're quality.

E07's used exclusively here in Oz - not a really wet area though.... Hard wearing and good all around grip! Cheers Ian |

Mathmatically my tyre is slightly taller so it'll fit that way but the 140 is roughly 10mm wider and that's where it is very close on my bike. by looking how close my 130 is I'd say no unless you have a longer chain for the tyre to sit right back ?????

Hey there all, running the Mitas E07 front and rear as well. Ran into a little storm comming back from an afternoon run from the Burdikin dam to Townsville a month or so ago. Just after dusk, 110 K/Hr road with at least a half inch of water flowing along, plus puddles. No problem with grip encountered even with a gusting side wind. Was pleasantly impressed and glad! They have a squarer profile which can be a touch unnerving, but have not lost traction as yet. No stupidity tried either. Regards, Shaun |
