another tire question thread

i would like to get a set of pirelli diablo corsa iii's for my 98 ninja zx6r, however, they do not have the size that is specified for my bike.

the specifications for tires on my bike are:

front: 120/60 zr17
rear: 170/60 zr17

what pirelli has available for the corsa iii:

front: 120/65 zr17 and 120/70 zr17
rear: 180/55 zr17, 190/50 zr17, and 190/55 zr17


can i choose the 120/65 for the front and the 180/55 for the rear without having any problems?

u can go with the 120-70-17 for the front and 180-55-17 for the rear without any problems, also u will find better tire selections in them sizes as well

no shit man. i've noticed a lot of tires tailored to "handling" and track riding are in the 180/55 size range. i guess i should upgrade to a newer bike.
