Re: Largest rear tire?
I don't think you can unless you put the 120/70/14 and that's a front tire. I know it's been done in here but there are many reasons NOT to put a front tire on the rear.
Stock is 90/90-14 front & 100/90-14 rear if I'm not mistaken
Oversize in Michelin for PCX is 120/70-14 front & 140/70-14 rear and will require slight mod for rear tire ONLY spacing off the airbox 3/8" and rear fender hugger 1/2"

Take note, on stock vario, a 140 rear will be too heavy for the engine..
Everything looks better from the inside of a motorcycle helmet...

Re: Largest rear tire?
Mr. Chin is correct, you will lose 4 mph with those larger tires/tyres and that will lead you into variator performance add ons to get it back plus some. Your speedometer will also be 2 mph off because of the slight change in height. Benefits after both rubber and performance kit changes will result in;alx123 wrote:Take note, on stock vario, a 140 rear will be too heavy for the engine..
Over all speed and acceleration increase
Better comfort and stability on the larger rubber
Great look with the wheel wells filled out
