Installed kenda 4.50x18 rear k270 tire. (Original 4.10x18). Now need to upgrade the front tire next size up when I wear it out. I like the looks, am up in height about 1 inch. Had a little rubbing on the muff and shimed it and the plastic chain guard out about .25 inch for clearence. Seems to be ok this was my only fear of upsizing the tire.

Additional note, I lost my assistant fire chief yesterday afternoon to a heart attack. Mounted the new tire up took a long ride 1 to 8 pm today. He was young! 50 just coming to the realization that he is gone. He will be hard to replace.
