Hi,
As the titel says, last year i got 110/70 when I couldnt get 120/60 in time. But this year Ive got time

I hade a bit of trouble with the front end loosing grip out of some corners last year (yeah my suspension back is looked so just hade to losen the front to go with it).
So Im thinking 120/70 should get me more grip out of the courner, but Im not shore it'll fitt the bike
Standard ZXR400L -94, Bridgestone BT090. Standard class racing with DOT tiers. Really liked the 090's on the kawa

theres far, far, far better tyres than them. get yourself some 120/70 160/60 racetecs or supercorsa pros. you will never look back

I read that just now on the site aswell, but last year I read a lot of people really liking the bt090. Since it is made for SM and small sportbikes i figured ok.
Now Im not certin. Alto the 090's are good. racetecs might be the way to go then. Other's in my class racing on them.
So 120/70 will fitt
time to think.

Looked around on metzlers page but there dosnt seem to be 160/60 racetecs

, btw, are the DOT? Im only allowed DOT tires. K3 is I think, but what about K0, K1 and K2?

im not 100% on the racetecs.
I race with the supercorsa pros, and they are road legal, and have the dot mark you need.
Standard zxr front is 120/60, but the supercorsa pros come as 120/70. They are fine mate, no problems with them. Most people use the sc1 front and the sc2 rear (soft front, medium rear)

Dude, I presume it is a ZXR400 ???, Everyone races on 120/70 fronts as far as I'm aware. If you want to try some SuperCorsa Pro's I've got some part worns for sale in the parts section. £60 plus delivery. If you don't like them, then that's not a lot to lose, besides just sell them on

Damn, hadn't noticed you were in Sweden. I doubt I could ship them there 'cheap'. I'll try and find out what it'll cost though, just in case it's feasable

Delivery would be £40 to Sweden, so not really worth it

But let me know.
