I just put a new set of Michelin Pilot Road 3's on my 2002 ST1100 and noticed that the RPM has risen about 125 to 150 at a given speed. The new tires are:
Front: 120/70 ZR18
Rear: 160/60 ZR18
the old Dunlop's were:
Front: 110/80 V18
Rear: 169/70 V17
Is there any reason to be concerned, e.g., indicated speed difference, reduced fuel mileage, increased wear, lower overall aspect ratio, etc?
