Im putting a 150 on mine, As i think a 140 is a tad small.

Just give it a try

I just put on a 140/60R17 Dunlop GPR70 for $250 :crazy: every one says its the biz. I personally would have liked to try the newer Bridgestone BT090 on the rear. As I already have it on the front and love it. I would bother with any freaky expensive Italian/Euro brands, I wouldn't think there would be any benefit over the top models from the large established brands.

I wouldn't mess with the profile or width of the tyre, cause it will change the shape/curve and handling characteristics of the tyre. Stick to the specs for best results with regards to tyre sizes.

150 is fine if that's the flavour of tyre you want to go with. It will change the bikes characteristics a little, including a slightly slower turn in

Go with a 140 Dunlop GPR70. It'll turn like it's supposed to, and stick like shit to a blanket

[bugjuice]

go with the others if you don't mind falling off. The others have so far..
I haven't fallen with the Vipers yet :bleh:

*touches lots of wood*

What grade Pirelli?? And is 140/70 x 17 a better option than going wider?

[bugjuice]

going wider slows the turn-in for the corners. Doesn't really give you any extra grip. By sticking with the 140, the bike is set up to run that, so it'll be theoretically performing at its best. with Vipers.

vipers don't come in 140'sssssssss

[bugjuice]

i have no idea if they do or don't..
i'm just the model, I don't get paid to think..

[HDTboy]

I haven't fallen with the Vipers yet :bleh:
That's just asking for trouble.
If you go with the GPR70s, don't go fast on grass, they're not so sticky then

I had a CBR250RR in for a Wof today, I failed it because there was a big bulge in the sidewall of the rear tyre, well that and the rear pads worn out and the indicators not working.

I asked him what make he wanted and he replied "whatever you think is best" so now I have a better idea.:niceone:

[HDTboy]

I just happen to have some brake pads in my tool box, and will be in Auckland this weekend
