It may depend on brand... Mostly watch the bolts protruding the fender... troublemakers can be spacered or reversed... otherwise yes....

By the way, this tire IS a 150...152 mm wide according to the catalog, even though it's marked 140. This Pirelli is taller, stiffer, wider, and heavier than the OEM IRC. And I like the handling of the MT66, front & rear, a lot.

A Dunlop D404 140 90 15 has fit my 1986 but have had troubles with the bolt glazing the tire. Am looking at mounting the left saddle bag support outside the fender and exchanging OEM bolt with a shallower torx bolt. DocNeedles.

tcreeley Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 224	Re: tire size ? Reply #7 - 07/28/09 at 18:19:16 I put Dunlop D404 on the front and a Dunlop Rear K555 140/80H-15 on the back. I like it. The suzuki guy said the D404 140/90 would fit on the rear, and Dunlop lists it some place for the LS650 as a replacement, but I wasn't trusting enough! The last time I went to a larger tire on another bike it didn't work. Good luck TCreeley

grandpa Senior Member Offline Old but not cold!!! Posts: 259 Bartlett TN Gender:	Re: tire size ? Reply #10 - 07/29/09 at 22:22:25 I run a 140/90 Shenko with 11.5 inch Progressive shocks. The dealer used too long of bolts for the saddlebag supports. The ones with the extra washers just grazed the right side of the tire at the widest point. I got the correct length bolts and ground the head down a little for extra clearance. No problems since.
