I know it's a stupid question that I shouldn't even post but fuck it.

I have a 120/70R17 on my front now. Well, it's done. Would it be ok to go with a 120/60R17 or no?

whynot?

just be a shorter tire

Meh, I figured that was it. Just making sure.

a 120/60 will turn in slightly faster, but be slightly less stable on corner exits on the gas.

honestly, most people would never notice the difference between a 60 and a 70.

and yeah, it's fine for the rim size, if that's what you were getting at

yes sir but the 120/70 is better in the corners...but you wont be hitting those anytime soon... lol


edit damn we must have been writing at the same time

Yea right. The second she gets tags.

depends on what you're looking for. see also my previous post. everything is give and take.

Skrooz is right as the 60 series will turn in faster but you will get more lean angle with the 70 series.....

skr00zloose

nah, you can lean just as far on a 60, it's profile just makes it a bit less stable on corner exits. like i said though, 99% of the street riders would never notice the difference.

Well, I know that on the track buddy that I get more lean angle and more contact patch with the 70 series.... in fact, my race slicks are 120/75 series profile in front and 190/65 in rear. LOL
