Yes, you can use a 150/80. Itīs quite narrow but you donīt have to do any modifications on the bike. A friend of mine had a flat tire on a tour in Norway and the friendly guys up there couldnīt get a 140 in reasonable time. So we tried the 150 and voila it worked. Be careful in the first corners - the feelingīs somewhat different. You get used to it quite fast and then youīll like it. I canīt say whatīs the difference but it feels if the bike lays better on the road.
So go for a try - it sure looks great with the fat tire back there.
