rear tire size for 2007 bonnie

[thomkeys]

can you put a 150 wide rear tire on a 2007 bonneville? I have a 140 on now

Yes, you can. BUT, you have to make sure the 150 will fit on your stock rim; some will and some won't. Some are too wide for the stock rim. What brand are you considering? I thought about a 150 but decided to stick with the 140. I like the way the 140 handles.

Dunlop GT501s (with a 150X70-17 on the rear) is the one most used by those running a 150 in the rear.

Avon Roadriders also seem to work well.

i remove my stock metzlers at 710 miles for some sporty pirelli radials stuck with a 140 on rear but a 70 profile which is a correct fit for my stock 3.5" bonnie mag. most radials call for wider rims compared to bias tires of the same size
