Hey,long time no see,I am looking for some advice about the rear tire size.I have a 96 zx6,,and is spinning alot with the 160x60x17 I am thinking about putting on a 160x70x17 to get less wheel spin,i know it will off set the handling,by how much? F@#K if I know,has anyone tried the higher profile tire??thanks in advance

Can you get a 160/70 17 in a sport tyre? I thought they'd mostly be a touring tyre

Rayz

yeah,the battleaxe BT020R tyre is an allrounder,not as curved,I was just wanting to experiment to see if i can get a better take off..the tyre probably won't want to corner as good as the sportz tyre..another thing the swing arm might not be long enough to accomodate the bigger tyre..more I think about it the dumber it sounds.

why not do a 170?

I put the spec tyre on 160x60x17..maybe a 170 next time..things are coolin down in sydney..17-19c..gotta make the best of these last days of autumn.catch ya later Rayz
