I think the 180/70 is for the 1600's not the 1500's

Good point. I didn't think of that.

That works great on the 1600's..... I have a 1500 ("99) which comes stock with 150/80/16 front and back....... I'm going with a stage 1 upgrade: 160/80/16 rear....... I'd love to go 170, but it's lower profile & calls for a wider rim.

I think you should look for a sand tire?

I read someone had placed Metzeler ME 880’s (radial tires) Front (150/80H/16) and had increased the rear tire size to 180/70HR/16. Says the bike never cornered better. Is it even possible to place 180/70HR/16 in the rear. Any coments on this. CHEERS!

Lots of Nomad riders use the 180 radial in the rear...... I have a 1500 which won't take bigger than a 160.... I just bought new Metzeler bias.... one of our Kawa Ultimates (Trip.... I liked Gods...) will help you out shortly I'm sure!!
