I know this topic has been discussed. I am gonna replace the rear tire on the Bonne this week. I am thinkin 140- 150.

The pros= More accurate speedo, less wear (maybe?), & better looks.

Dont remember cons? Handling, fit etc.. Thoughts????? :???:
Won't help your speedo - its driven off the front wheel. I have run a 140 and 150 - read the manufactures specs on rim sizing and follow their recommendations - vertwrks is correct and a tire designed for a wider rim squished to fit a narrow rim is not always a good thing.
