Purchased a used 2003 Goldwing w/2004 Roadsmith Kit. Rear tires look to be 11 years old so I think I'm ready to replace them although tread depth is good. My question is concerning size. Currently are 215 45R17 and wondering how 215 50R17 would affect #1 ride and #2 mpg? I've done a physical comparison and found the 50R to be almost 1" taller than the 45R tires. OE tires were 215 60R15 as far as I can tell from the O.E. info. supplied by The Trike Shop. Also, since I added a 6 degree rake kit the trike leans much more on tight turns. Thanks........... orag:
