Default OEM tires question
I have a 01 F4i and OEM for the front is 120/70ZR17. What problems if any would i run into if i put a 120/60ZR17 in its spot.

i put a 60 on mine because thats all the shop had at the time. it feels like it makes you dip into the turns more or something but no real problems

oh yeah, it's gonna turn-in much faster.....the bike wasn't made for a 60 so the geometry will be outta line. it shouldn't pose any danger, unless you assume it will handle the same as the 70.
