Tire size question
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?

Re: Tire size question
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

Re: Tire size question
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.

Re: Tire size question
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
