Any good tyres with large circumference for better top speed

Hi all, I need to get a new tyre for the rear of my GP200 and I’d like to give the engine a bit less work/revs at 55-60mph so I was thinking of fitting a tyre with a larger circumference (but don’t want to file off all the bump stop). The 350x10 Continental’s I have on measure 1367mm when new (give ...

Re: GP200 (SIL) poor performance after ¾ throttle PLEASE HEL
