Stone tire size and style ?

I have read and had some experience with bigger block tires not working so well on wet roads. I ran Shinko 705s on my 800GS and found them a little worse than full street tires but was willing to make that trade off. I also posted on the radial tire thread that the Pirelli Trail II that I loved on my Griso is a radial rear but bias front in the V7 size. Seems there are very few matching sets of tires for us...
 
I finally got around to removing the back tire - It was tight squeeze getting the wheel/tire out from the swing arm, and a little tricky putting it back on with that spacer and those rubber bushings that love to fall out and bounce underneath anything you have in your garage...

Here's a picture of the back tire, which is tubeless. View attachment 11444

I'm in the process of buying some K60's myself. Did you fit the standard 130/80/17? I'm wondering if I can clear a 140. Your bike looks great, love it!
