You've put the 300 rear tire on and you still want more? Got a deal on big rubber so you bought two but you only have one bike? Well, American Motorcycles has your answer, mount one of those big guys up front. They built a chopper called "Headhunter" for an upcoming movie called The Ironhorsemen, sporting a Revtech 110 horsepower engine, six speed right side transmission and two size 300 Avon tires.
Handling? We're not talking handling, we're talking tires! Hmm ...

put on knobbie tires of that size and hit the beach
or put on a 150ci twin, a 9 speed gearbox, colour changing paint, and a t-shirt that says “i’m well endowed. why doesn’t anyone belive me?”
for some reason it reminds me of a Rokon or a ToteGoat…

HIDEOUS!!! Keep the fat tires at the rear! I feel sick looking at that thing!!
Aaron,
thanks for the chuckle…I think you are on to something with the “compensating” t-shirt.
Has anyone heard of experiments with comparatively fat tires on high performance bikes (300’s may be excessive)? If so, what were the results & trade-offs?
I remember in the 80’s a flirtation with small diameter fronts, reputed to provide better turn in. I am wondering if, with the right fork geometry and all other things equal, a fat front should give proportionately better turning and braking traction. Rubber footprint is critical to car performance; is form-bias, rather than function, holding back the motorcycle world?
bikes turn different than cars wider tire = less lean angle and thus less handeling look at sport bike tires relitively wide but verry round, tread dang near all the way to the rim
