the front is a slightly higher profile than std, others have used that size, i think many racers do, no reason why you shouldn't use them.they going cheap on ebay or something?

i made the switch to a 120/70/17 front at oulton park and whilst i had oodles of confidence in the grip once it was laid down i needed to drop the front another 5mm to compensate for the extra height in the tyre.. before doing that it was a bitch to turn at speed.
