Never thought it would fit.
$137 mounted for a 40K tire!

Default Tire
I posted a pix one reply before your's. So far nothing rubs. I've got a little less than 1/4" between the belt and the tire.

Welcome to my side of town.

gfelippo, The largest tire you can use on an 09 or later is 205/60/16. A 205/65/16 will rub. 205/55/16 is perfect and lowers the bike about 1/2" from the 205/60/16. The 206/55/16 sits you about 1" lower than the stock tire. So depending on whether or not you want to lower your bike a bit, get either the 60 or the 55. Absolutely no wider than 205.

Where will a 205/65 rub and not the 205/55? They both have the same width of 20.5 cm or 8.2".
