    Q.

    Rear tyre is small in Honda Shine BS6. Can I upsize it?

    The tyre size of Honda Shine is Front :-80/100-18, Rear :- 80/100-18. We wouldn't recommend installing a wider tyre as this can lead to a flatter contact patch. In this condition, leaning into corners becomes difficult because the shape of the tyre is not as round as it ought to be. If we talk about the performance of the motorcycle with a wider tyre as compared to the standard one, it will be on the negative side as a bigger contact patch results in more frictional losses, which can be seen in the fuel economy and top speed of the bike. Also, the increased contact surface can increase the effort it takes to handle the bike well.
