    Stop being soft and get a 60.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Just make sure that with a 70 profile it will have enough clearance under your front guard. I put on a larger profile on my previous bike and stones kept getting caught underneath the guard and making an 'orrible grinding noise.

    Best to stick with the manufacturers specs I reckon Quasi.

    Sorry dude. The profile number is the ratio of sidewall height to width of the tyre, so changing from the standard spec could have implications for steering quickness, suspension compliance ( the tyre is part of the suspension setup), and as Zed has said, clearance. I stick to manufacturer specs myself. They have more money to develop the specs in the first place.

    See what Metzler do. It's the same company and factory.

    Not really worth stuffing up your steering just to make a brand statement though, Quasi.

    Plenty of people around running different manu's tyres front and rear.

    The Metzler's come pretty highly recommended.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Brand statement ? hardly.
    The rear Diablo needs the front Diablo to pump a majority of the water for it, thats how they are designed.If you put on another brand, now that is dumb. Particulary in the wet.
    Im concerned fr reasons other than Brand issues

    mine runs on a 120/70-17 front. Haven't experienced any problems for 3000kms. Well, I still can't ride very well, but don't think that's the tyres (or the bike, or the gear, or......)

    Front guard clearance not an issue.
