i got 120/60 160/60 at the moment but as good as it is in the corners i have always got the back tyre to the limit on corners so just feel that bigger tyre will do me better just a bit easier to get a pair of 120 180 than 120 170 but will look into it thanks for your in put is a great help
You changed front wheel, or just put fatter tyre? 120 on standard wheel can cause funny steering, stranger falling into corners.
Putting fatter, heavier tyres will not help your cornering that much. Get a proper race bike if driving it to the edge is what gets you off.
Just my 2 cents.

no i just changed the tyre as the tyres i prefer only tend to come in the 120 on the front and either 160 or 180 for the back thats why i was looking at changing the back wheel for the 180 tyre.
also i wern't looking at putting the 180 tyre on the standard rim. don't need a race bike to lean the bike over in a corner all i said was that i am getting the back tyre to the limit the front with the 120 on still got about half inch either side not used.
but can see now i am basically changing the wrong number on the tyre i need to be going more 160/70 on the back rather than sticking with the 160/60 or going 180.
