front tyre size - help!
Hi all,
I've been given a set of bridgestone BT016's by a mate of mine who used them once on a trackday. The rear will fit fine but the front is off by 10mm. I know sv650 stock front tires come in at 120/60/17 but the tire he gave me is 120/70/17. Would i still be able to use this on the front? if so are there any issues with handling/performance that i should be aware of??? any help/advice would be appreciated! cheers Last edited by fonz_20; 02-04-09 at 05:22 PM. |

I just replaced my trye (a sh!t metlezer(sp) 160/60) with a michilin road two's, dual compound kinda thing..
The 120/70 is a snug fit, bit defiently fits, and theres no rubbing on the orginal mudguard and even on the fender extender i installed.. Fitted Tuesday, running well
