Tyre question !! :-)

Post by lloydie »

Oh no not again I hear you say !

I've been given a Pirelli super corsa scrub and it's only done 2 laps :-) so it's like new .
My question is ----------

It's a 180 60 17
Will the 60 profile cause me any problems ??

Can't see any major issues, it's designed for a 5,5" rim same as storm. it will make the bike turn in quicker as it's a higher profile so be prepared to lower the back a bit if you have a shock spacer or ride height adjustment. also may cause some instability due to the same reasons.
Give it a try, the feedback would be good for others.
