Default ** Bigger Tire than OEM **

The OEM tire size for my Thunder - Thunder - Thundercloud is 235 / 55 / 18. I would like it setup to handle off road conditions better, so I'm thinking a bigger tire.

Has anyone gone from the size above to 235 / 60 / 18. Just wondering if this will work out or if anyone has tried.

Thanks.

IMO I will always stick to the stock diameter. It throws your speedo off and too me it always looks weird as well.
