Re: is bigger better
to be honest i have decided not to because there will be little gain, but good debate though. in conclusion bigger is not always better !

Re: is bigger better
Thing is you won't get to the edge of a 160 anyway, Blue650S posted a pic on here of his tyre which was apparently a few 10ths of a second off minitwin lap record pace and there was still a small chicken strip.
170 will pinch more and you will leave even more unused, plus they are likely heavier.

Re: is bigger better
In that case, how about a 150?

Re: is bigger better
I tried mine with a 170 & all I can say is that there is a slight difference in cornering, it tends to drop in a bit slower. As already said, I wouldnt bother.
