Nope it's 10mm narrower for an improved crown profile and more precise handling.
Putting balloon tires on a semi-modern motorcycle is asking for trouble.
The Savage is under braked with the stock tires... The suspension as shipped is too soft. Small wheel bearings and lightweight axles. The bike does nothing atrociously, yet it also does nothing spectacularly. Going with a -1 or a -2 tire size improves the bike's functionality.
I'm all for looks, I know you've seen my 98 in a few of its various guises. But, I'm no longer going to sacrifice function for form. My 03 is mainly stock, will be getting narrower tires next time it needs new skins.
