fieldarcher Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi, has anyone tried a 70 profile on the front of an 2002 R6, I need new tyres and the 60 profile is often more expensive or not available. Please I know tyres are black and round and there is one on the front and one on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted December 2, 2011 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2011 I haven't but it will alter your speedo accuracy, change the steering characteristics (steer slower) and you should tell your insurers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORRIEBOY Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Also check clearance of mudguard with 70 profile specially in summer picking up gravel. Try sports touring tyres I run BT023 on my 5eb and they are superb wet or dry and shop around for prices buy them yourself and get your bike shop to fit them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having done some more research the rolling radius is approx .35 of an inch and the mudguard clearance is approx 1 inch, I think I will take a chance as M&p are flogging a pair of BT 014s for £139 with a 70 profile, anyway the wife has assured me that 3/4 inch shouldn't make a difference if I use it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
