Front tyre for gsxr 750 front end on the SV?

As per the title which tyre size/brand would you recommend for the GSXR 750 front whel/end conversion? and potential running pressures. Thank you all

Hi there,

Well I run a 120/60 ZR 17 on a GSXR K1-K3 front wheel. Tyres are a personal thing. I run Conti' Road Attack 2's and find them fine, excellent grip, predictable and not too quick steering. I run these at 36psi front and 42 psi rear.

I'm sure there'll be some more replies along in a bit!

Rich.

I'm running a 120/70 on the front of mine, K8 bike, K7 750 front end.

Stock pressures 33F 36R

Cheers for your replies. Yeah this is my dilemma 70's or 60's that is the question!!! I was thinking of taking the 60 off my sv wheel and putting it on the front of my gixxer and seeing how it goes, worth it???

Up to you. I think I went for the 70 as seem to recall it was recommended due to the forks reducing the height of the bike anyway?

Ive got a 60 and its fine, but i do tend to find it follows the road abit and need more effort to put it into corners

Thanks, what brand of 70 tyre would you say is the best balance of cost/performance etc, i'm not a tight wad it's just this front fork swap is costing a little more than expected.......(thinks about it)......ok I am a tight wad!!!

Whatever is the same as the rear would be a good shout.

I got good mileage out of my Avon Storm Ultra ST's and have been happy with the Dunlop Roadsmarts I currently have on.

I have noticed the front seems to be wearing unevenly either side of the centre line (and appeared to on the Storms as well), so not sure if there's a set up problem.

Check out the Tyres section for lots of tyre discussion/reviews.
