Is anybody changing the rear tyre soon? Trying a 170/60 may be nice

I think I wrote about it in the old forum, but not sure.

Anyway I found that 170/60 is the recommended size for 5" width rims (like the ones of our fazers) by the tyre manufacturers charts. 160/60 are for 4,5" rims like the ones of SV650. So Fazers came standard with a flattened tyre!

I purchased a 3,5" front rim from a Yamaha TRX850, which will allow 120 front tyres (thanks to the mate HybridYZF for the advise). Soon it will be installed and I will report how it goes but the rear tyre is still quite fresh so it will took a while before I change it.

So I ask anybody to try a 170/60 and tell us how it goes

Thanks
