i was thinking of fitting a set of tkc80s for my big trip and was wanting to know if it is worth fitting a wider rear tyre when carrying a heavy load? what size is everyone using on there xt600e?

I used a 130 with no issues.. Anarkees, trailwings and Karoos.

I'd agree with Ted - the 130 size is fine unless you are on a heffer of a 1200GS...

I believe there is a 140 version if you are running an 18 inch rear wheel, but I was told the 150/70 17 inch would not fit properly unless you had a much wider rear rim?
