Tyres and wheel sizes F250 question???
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2012 10:41 am
Hi guys,
Sadly this is not a KR question, this is about my 3xv but I'm hoping its of relevance to the size of wheels that people run in the KR.
Ok my 3xv has a 3.0 X 17 front and a 4.5 X 17 rear wheel as standard.
The standard tyre sizes are 110/70/17 front and 150/60/17 rear.
Do you guys who run the rgv rear wheel run a 160 width rear tyre? I notice the zxr400's have a 4.5 inch rear wheel and they run a 160 as standard so I'm guessing I'd be ok to do the same.
I have just got hold of a set of michelin power one's in the standard size for my bike but when these are knackered I would like to give the pirelli supercorsas a go. I can't get a 110 front but can get the 150 rear in those tyres. 120/160 part worn pairs are common as muck though so it would be good to be able to run those sizes.
Do the people running a 120 front use a 3.5 X 17 front wheel?
Any insights welcome This will be for spirited trackday use mainly.
Cheers,
Dan
