150 rear tire on a XTR?

Hello

Is it possible to mount a 150 road tire (not dirt tire) on my XT660R -07?

Thanks

NO!

Stick to manufacturer's recommendations, we are not allowed to suggest you ill-fit a tyre which is not safe.

Thank you.

Thanks capmoto but don, t think yamaha likes all the mods who can affect emissions and many more things.

Hi Landton,

yep, i also thought the response was funny considering the hundreds of mods listed on this forum which are not in line with manufacturers recommendations..

anyway, i have a 150 rear tyre fitted on my bike. i have a 07 xtx and the tyre is Michelin Pilot Road 3. no issues so far, after 10,000km.

I fitted it because i thought it may improve the ride, but I was disappointed. I wouldnt do it again. It may help slightly when cornering, but when you ride higher speeds it feels a bit shaky. not as stable as when you have the 160.

So i'm looking forward to get a 160 back on. I cannot recommend the 150, but it's possible.

Was not taking about sports tyre only a normal tyre to take me from home to the job nothing to play with, I have dirt wheels beside I can play with instead. Your X is wider so you can use wider tyre but I still got the smaller steel so it,s perhaps not possible.
