I have been looking all over this site on information about tire size, but I have had no luck. I’m getting ready to change out the tires on my 2000 750 monster, I would like to go with a larger profile tire if at all possible.. I currently have the stock 170/60 r17 in the rear. That tire just seems really thin and I would like to put a more aggressive looking tire in the back, something wider.. Has anyone experiences with a larger tire? I don’t mind losing the rear tire hugger (fender), but I want it to be safe and fit on the rim.. any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Now to the second part of my question.. what tire would everyone recommend. I primarily ride very conservative, but would like a tire with some good control and a tire I can take on the twistys on the weekends..
Thanks for your help..
