Would like to try a 140/80 rear tire (Kenda Gauntlet K779) on my EX.

I now use the Kenda Equilibrium which is great for the winter, but looking now for loose dirt + rocks. Suitable tire (gummy).
Had to add 2 links to the chain in order to fit the Equilibrium.

Anyone tried a 140/80?

I’m running the equilibrium as well. Great tire, but I’m gonna try something different next time. Anxious to see if this tire works out for you.

I guess I'm missing why you had to add two links to the chain for the new tire. Did you have to move it backwards because it has a taller profile?

Exactly. The Equilibrium tall profile made it rub on the swingarm's front.
