[jb1016]

Anybody use this front tire on 2012 Mag wheel Bonny? Michelin says It wont work .Aspect ratio is supposed to be 70 .Is there that much difference?? I have the Pilot Active on the rear and it is the correct size. thanks in advance for any help

No,
Let google be your friend in your search for proper tire sizing for the rim size and application. Start with the tire manufacturer, tire choice and rim size...
I run Avon's and their tire sizing and fitment application is cool...
So is Michelin's and Pirelli's...

I hate to point you to another forum, but here's 33 pages- ad nauseum - of tire discussion for the mag wheel bikes:

The worst thing that you will experience is a bit of rubbing on the fender bolts, which can be alleviated by fitting lower profile hardware.

YMMV,

I gotta tell ya. I switched from the Pirelli Sport Demon to the Michelin Pilot Activ tyres. I put a 150/70 on the rear, and stock size 100/90 on the front of my Thruxton. These Pilot Activ tyres are good, the bike sticks well in the corners, and doesn't get all squirrelly on the tar snakes, as the Pirellis did.
