Heck no.
I thought I was going to learn about an aircraft I'd never heard of.

Deets here on the tire for those of you who don't want to Google it.
Looks like the 17" only comes in a 215/65 which is larger than the normal 205/50 we all go with. My guess is it wouldn't fit.
It's about 3" taller & .5" wider than the normal dark size. Speedo will be off 3-16 km/h too according to the comparison tool.

I just looked at tire rack and they do have the 205/50/17 but I don't like the bad reviews on the tire.

Laufenn is made by Hankook.

Underwhelming to say the least… on a car. The rounded shoulder geometry seems ideal for a motorcycle application and I wonder if some of those stated deficiencies would translate to the MC. For example, the poor wet performance. A function of tread design and possibly construction material… but as a single MC tire, I’m curious if anyone has run this Darkside choice to offer some feedback.
