Funny how everyone with a 200 rear bike says..."its ok up to 200 but dont go over". They'd probably say the same thing if it was a 230 rear tire. Just human nature I suppose. Truth be told the 150 handles better and will outlast the 200. Now these things already handle like crap so from a performance standpoint who really cares right. The bike with a 150 handles poorly and the 200 is worse. All that matters is you like your bike and enjoy riding it.

Right here in our Forum. Plenty of threads (click below) on complaints about low mileage with the lop 407 -200 rear tire.

Its one reason the New Michelin Commander 11's are claiming 2x the tire life vs the lop 407's.
