Rear tire size 2014 Forza 140/70-13

[andreachamp]

Hello have seen postings discussing that the rear tire is available to buy on the internet with free shipping but can't see a link. Could someone please send me the link to purchase this tire on line or the 150 size which apparently is available and compatible as well? thank you

I just put a 150/70-13 Michelin City Grip on mine; very happy with the performance.

OEMs are available through Honda,didn't find them anywhere else. Dunlop site doesn't list them either. Mich how does the City Grip compare with the Dunlops?

There is a ride difference; though the tire is fractionally taller, it shouldn't be enough to notice- but the difference is there. Maybe I am just in tune to how the ride 'used' to be. The shape 'seems' to be more rounded instead of a semi 'flat' surface of the Dunlop, but maybe it is because it is just fractionally wider...don't know. That said, it is definitely a good handler. Unfortunately, riding temperatures haven't surfaced for very long yet, and I don't have enough time on it to know its limits across different riding conditions. I will know soon enough; 60s are on their way, and I will be out testing it.

Thanks Mich, I like the grip I've gotten out of the Dunlops but it's hard to compare it when I haven't tried something new so would like to hear your opinions when conditions improve. I have a spare rear I got from Honda as availability was an issue but I'm thinking the City Grips would be a good tire.

After putting a few hundred miles on the Michelin, I have to ask. Why didn't they design it in in the first place?
It is a very good tire.
