I just got a new Dunlop 110/80/19 rear tire delivered that I won at a banquet. I usually run a 110/90 on the 450 and haven't ever seen or used a 110/80. Will this work or will it be too low of a side wall for a 450? I hear some guys run this tire on 250F's now. Has anyone used one on a 450?

It will alter your gearing. Just an FYI.

The side wall is 10mm shorter......you will never notice the difference.

It's simple math. 110 X 80 = 88mm sidewall. A 110 X 90 = 99mm. It would be like running 11mm more sag (height wise not spring/suspension wise) so I think he would notice it in the handling. It's really a 250f tire as the shorter sidwall flattens out the profile on the wider 450 rim.

If he has to come onto a forum to ask a question like that, I truly doubt that he'll notice the difference.
