120/70/17 front tyre

[zxrdisbiker]

Hi other zxr400 riders, as anybody fitted a 120/70/17 front tyre did you have any problems with it, how does it effect the handling any info would be appreciated.

People definitely have, as I think one of the Pirelli Diablo variants only comes in a 70% profile.

I haven't personally so I'll leave them to comment on any handling and clearance issues.

just do a quick search on 120/70 and you will see its been tried and tested with comments of rubbing the mudguard?

fitted a 120/70 Avon pro extreme wet to the front of the ZXR with absolutely no issues at all.
Makes the bike turn in quicker tho

Look in the race forum - I think just about all of them ran the 70 front.

I certainly used the 60 and the 70 on the roads, and can honestly say i couldn't tell the difference, other than knowing the 70 was supposed to be better on track!

Just about the same as when I tried a 160/55-17 rear...

Thanks to all, I will but it on a spare wheel I have and give it a go.
