Is there any reason to put a "B" rated rear tire on my C14? I'm a bigger guy (260lbs), and occasionally carry a passenger (100lbs), but I'd say less than 1000 miles per year of 2 up. I don't carry very heavy loads in the bags, or on the rack either.
I'm looking at PR3's and considering the 55 series tire. I see there is an option (more expense) to go with the B 75W rating, but not sure I need it or not. The little bit of looking I have done, really does not give clear cut weight to go to it. I'm not afraid of the cost, and would be happy to spend it if I need, but don't want to waste the money if I don't need to either.
