I have a T66 130/80 as backtyre at my rd04 instead of a 130/90 and I can't feel
any difference. The 130/80 is normaly at the Transalp said my dealer. (in
Germany). I also can use an 140/80.

Hello to everyone,

I have a T66 150/70 mounted on the back tyre instead of 140/80, I also can't feel
any difference, may be a little bit by driving through curves the bike tendends 
to "stand up" itself.
Driving very hard through curves you can take them with a little higher speed than with the 140/80 (my pesonal opinion).
