Re: 120/70 Tyre
It's a subtle change, not night and day.
Of course everyone who tries it only takes off a completely fooked tyre that's this _/ shape on each side and then says it turns in loads and loads faster. Sometimes they rub mudguard, usually you get away with it by loosening bolts a bit and shuffling it round to sneak an extra fag paper of clearance at the back.

Re: 120/70 Tyre
I for one always love riding a new tyre. And as you say it feels a lot sharper on turn in. I can't imagine the feeling of a 70 after a square front.

Re: 120/70 Tyre
Back in 01-06-2010 tovar mesured the hight of some tyres.
"Just because one tire is stamped 120/70 and other 120/60 does not mean there is 12mm difference. Only way to know exactly is by measuring both. Michelin 120/60 tire measurement is 600.4mm and a pirelli 120/70 and its measurement is 598mm. Michelin Power Race front 120/70 - 599.4mm Michelin H2 Front 120/70 - 606.27MM Michelin Street Sport 120/70 - 600.54MM Metzeler Sportec Front 120/70 - 598.32MM Bridgestone 012 120/70 - 601.82MM Dunlop D208GP 120/70 - 597.45MM" So its not as straightforward as you might think
