Tyre Sizes
 

Does anyone know whats better for the front?

The standard 120/60? or 120/70

I've heard mixed reviews...opinions???

120/60 is the the stardard size for the SV. Don't really see why you would want to put a 120/70 on the front...

I have a 120/70 on the front, got a good deal at the time...

makes no noticeable difference to me, speedo misreads slightly

not worth it

Aapparently a 120/70 section will turn in slightly slower giving a little more confidence. Not really sure why Suzuki bothered with a 120/60 on the SV.

can't say i've noticed any difference on the cornering.. altho I don't exactly throw it in :lol:

Thats what they said at the tyre shop... Slower turning, more stable at high speeds.

I stuck with the 120/60 in the end.

Went for a pro series avon on the front and an avon sports/touring on the back. Feels much better than the Metzler/Pirelli Dragon combo I had before.

Thanks for the advice

If you fit upside down forks in your sv then a 120/70/17 is better as the forks are shorter so you need the extra hight to compensate and as I raised the rear end by fitting a trx shock it did make a differenc to how my bike turned into a corner

What about the rear ? How big can you go ?

Or stick with 160/60/ZR17 ?

keep the std seth
