Re: Does the width of rear tyre affect stability of motorcycle?
Guys, do you remember Naoya Kaneko's (Kawasaki) interview? He said they first decide the size of tyres before they design a bike.
Fatter tyre is used when you have a bigger engine, since you need more stability. Otherwise the vehicle will lose ground contact. Thinner tyres, however doesn't allow the bike to cruise at higher speed too much. Its difficult to turn the bike at a high speed with thinner tyres. But they are good for off the road biking, unlike SUV's where thicker tyres are used when the vehicles have to go off the road
