Title: 180 tyre
Post by: redman on 14 July 2012, 10:19:24 pm

Has anybody fitted a 180 tyre on the rear and had any success any fit or handling issues as I can get track scrubs cheap but not in a 160 width.... :'(

I'm sure there was months of testing with results that ended with correct tyre fittings that were best for the bike?

hi lee id change back to the 160 when mine are worn mainly because i can get 160s free! my mate races in f400(on fzr400)and his tyres only do one race weekend before there no good to him! there pirelli super corsa pro soft front medium rear,i get them for nowt cos i help him doing jobs etc but i know he sells them time to time on ebay so keep an eye on there as theres always someone selling them
