Bad Max went down that road and if I remember correctly it was near impossible to install but wait to see when he reads this , I know he tried it though , Try searching back in past posts typing in that tire size

As Capt Bob has stated, Bad_Max and some others had a very difficult time getting the bead started on the install...the place that I use in San Diego, has a tire changing machine that does it with no problems...I would check with a place that does motorcycle tire changes and ask them if they have ever done this before...some members ripped the bead of the tires up, trying...

The problem isn't getting the tire on, it's getting it to blow up once you get it on. It can be done, but it's a bitch. The end result is really only suited for drag racing, as it does change the final gear ratio, but it's not a very good tire for twisties. The speedometer gets thrown off even worse than the stock tire.
