Has anyone looked at the Federal Formaza FD2, size 205/55-17? Will it fit on the ST1300 rim (how wide is the ST1300 rim)? Will it fit between the swingarm? The industry rule of thumb states that for every 1/2" change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10". So if the measured rim is 6.5", the tire will be reduced to about 8" wide (because it is going on a narrower rim, the sidewall is pulled in therefore shrinking the width). Any opinions on this CT?

The Hankook is close. I have not seen this on an ST. I know some have tried other brands and had success but some have not even thou they were the same size.

Give it a try and see if it will work on the ST. There is only one way to find out if it will work or not. Good luck.
