        Your tires look "beefy". What brand are you running and what size? I always wondered why Suzuki made the 18" rear narrower than the 17".

          The tires are "Conti Blitz" Continentals..110/80x19 and 130/80x18. Both are basically one size up from stock and fit the wheels nicely. They also look beefy (I believe) because the wheels are black and it all blends together. Haven't put many miles on them before winter hit, but they seem to handle well, and come highly recommended from an accessories dealer/tire shredder friend I know.
