Default Re: Wider rear tyre?

Its got something to do with percentages across the section of the tyre. Not like a car tyre where a 190 tyre is 19cm wide and a 205 is 20.5 cm wide. The 170 will be slightly taller, not enough that you'd notice. i'm fitting 170 rears as i just got 2 pairs of tyres for £160 delivered. 170's where cheaper than the 160's. I'll also be fitting 180's through summer as i get Pirelli BSB tyres for £60 a pair. yeah there may be a slight difference but for the price i can easily live with it.
