Hi Troll
Not discounting what you have said, do you have anything that references that? as that goes against what I have understood and I'd like to clear it up. Several places call for 3 to 4 " rim for the tire and if you could help me be safe i sure would appreciate that.

I do appreciate the reply and safety notice.

Michelin does list the 150 as fitting the bike.

the 150/80-16 tire requires a 3.5" wide rim, the 130/90-16 uses a 3" wide rim. Stuffing that tire on the narrow rim will distort the profile and alter handling characteristics

(i did try searching first)

Anyone try a 150/80-16 michelin commander II on the 800 rear?
it's 0.39" wider and a -0.47 diameter --  (0.235 lower/shorter -- but, i am going to a taller rear shock, EVENTUALLY)

Which is .02 wider, per side, and i am going to a 38 sprocket anyway ...

why the 150/80? i have a SCREAMING good deal on ONE
