front tyre choices

Post by racerdave »

I have been offered a brand new donlop D208 sportmax for a silly price
the only hitch i can see is it is a 120/60-17 rather than 120/70-17
will this make a great difference to the handling
at present the bike is fitted with a new 180/55-17 D208 rear
and a 120/70-17 Bridgestone BT54 front
i would like to run matched tyres if poss

might make it turn in a bit quicker but shoudnt upset the handling too much...
should be just like dropping the forks 10mm through the yokes... :think:

Get a rear to match.
Lovely tyres, best I've had on a Storm so far.

Never tried slick, mind.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
