Well I mail ordered some and got a reinforced(load range C or 6ply rated vs the orginal load range B 4 ply rated) It was the 140/90 profile and rubs on the left side saddle bag bolt now. It leaves a bew rubber stripe. Tire is round and smooth but was a terror to install. Went through 2 new tubes and finally reused the old one as they were out of stock for 4 days where I live now.(Recently moved from Anch AK to Moses Lake, WA.-closest Suzuki Dealer is 65 mi.) The slightly larger tire doesn't seem to have changed handling or stopping. Ride is a bit firmer as the tire is much stiffer in the sidewalls, it will soften some over time, but should last longer as it is under used load wise. Max
