For ages we stressed about fitting a 160/60 in place of a 150/70 (this was a rear on the hyo's) and all the tire shops frowned and glared at us for even asking, so we kept getting second opinions. One morning I was forced to fit one because I had a GT250 whose wheels had to go around that afternoon and only a spare half-worn 160/60. The result? It was mint. Now we fit the (awesome) Michelin PR2's (160/60+120/60) to the Hyo 250's and recommend everyone does the same.
Moral of the story - if the tire is in the ballpark and you can get it on the rim, just fit the tyre and try it.
